PREFACE 


To  acquaint  students,  alumni  and  visitors  with  the  equipment 
and  resources  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  and  to  assist  the 
students  and  friends  of  the  University  in  escorting  visitors  through 
the  institution,  the  editor  prepared,  in  1904,  a  pamphlet  descrip- 
tive of  the  principal  buildings  and  objects  of  interest,  which  was  the 
first  edition  of  this  Guide  Book.  The  subsequent  editions  were 
illustrated  and  greatly  enlarged.  The  first  four  editions  had  issues 
of  from  five  to  twenty  thousand  copies. 

The  editor  acknowledges  the  assistance  given  him  by  various 
officials  of  the  University,  and  also  information  and  data  collected 
from  a  number  of  reports  and  pamphlets. 

The  scope  of  the  work  prevents  more  than  a  brief  historical 
account  and  description  of  the  Departments,  but  full  informa- 
tion will  be  furnished  by  the  Recorder's  Office  on  request;  or  those 
wishing  information  on  the  courses  and  various  schools  are  referred 
to  the  general  catalogue  and  departmental  publications;  and  those 
desirous  of  looking  up  the  historical  development  of  the  University 
are  referred  to  the  list  of  publications  printed  in  this  edition.

UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 


HISTORICAL  SKETCH 

When  the  American  colonies  declared  their  independence  in  1776, 
only  about  twelve  of  the  present  colleges  and  universities  were  in 
existence  in  the  United   States.      They  now  number  nearly  six

FOUNDER   OF   THE    UNIVERSITY. 

hundred.  Only  six  of  the  present  universities  have  been  founded 
more  than  a  century  and  a  half.  Harvard  was  founded  in  1636, 
Yale  in  1701,  Pennsylvania  in  1740,  Princeton  in  1743,  Washington 
and  Lee  in  1749,  Columbia  in  1754.

Among  other  colleges,  still  existent,  which  were  founded  prior 
to  the  beginning  of  the  Revolution  in  1775  are  William  and  Mary, 
Brown,  Rutgers  and  Dartmouth.  Even  prior  to  1800  there  were 
no  more  than  thirty  colleges  and  universities  in  the  United  States. 

The  University  of  Pennsylvania  traces  its  origin  to  the  Charity 
School  organized  in  1740,  which  was  succeeded  by  the  Academy, 
organized  in  September,  1749,  which  occupied  the  building  of  the 
Charity  School.  The  Academy  was  the  result  of  a  pamphlet 
published  in  1749  by  Benjamin  Franklin,  entitled  "Proposals 
Relating  to  the  Education  of  Youth  in  Pennsylvania"  and  was 
formally  opened,  in  the  presence  of  a  distinguished  assembly  of 
citizens,  on  January  7,  1751.  The  trustees  received  their  first 
charter  in  1753,  and  in  1755,  by  virtue  of  a  second  charter,  the 
Academy  was  made  The  College  of  Philadelphia  with  power  to 
confer  the  usual  honorary  and  collegiate  degrees. 

The  building  in  which  the  Academy  was  installed  was  erected 
in  1740  for  Whitefield  and  other  itinerant  preachers,  and  was  the 
largest  building  then  in  Philadelphia.  The  lot  on  which  it  was 
located  had  a  frontage  of  209  feet,  and  was  capable,  as  Benjamin 
Franklin  stated  in  1750,  "of  receiving  more  buildings  to  lodge  the 
scholars  if  it  should  come  to  be  a  regular  college.  The  house  is 
built  of  brick,  very  strong  and  sufficiently  high  for  three  lofty 
stories."  The  building  was  subsequently  divided  into  two  stories 
and  rearranged,  in  which  condition  it  remained  until  1844,  when 
it  was  completely  destroyed. 

According  to  "Montgomery's  History,"  the  entrance  to  this 
building  opened  into  a  large  hall,  and  on  either  side  were  large 
class  rooms,  that  to  the  north  being  occupied  by  the  charity  school. 
The  western  half  of  the  first  floor  was  occupied  by  a  large  room, 
ninety  by  thirty-five  feet,  in  the  center  of  which  was  a  platform 
from  which  the  members  of  the  faculty  taught  their  classes.  To 
the  south  between  the  large  room  and  the  front  class  room  the 
hall  turned  west,  opening  out  into  the  playground,  which  was 
about  one  hundred  by  fifty  feet.  In  the  side  hall  arose  a  heavy 
staircase  with  a  solid  balustrade  which  opened  into  a  large  upper 
hall  covering  the  entire  width  of  the  building  and  about  ninety 
feet  in  length.  Across  the  south  end  over  the  stairway  was  a 
gallery;  the  rostrum  was  against  the  north  wall.  In  this  hall  were 
held  the  early  commencements  as  well  as  all  the  public  exercises, 
and  on  Sunday  divine  services  were  held  by  Whitefield  and  others. 
The  front  campus  was  more  ornamental  than  useful,  the  students 
not  being  allowed  to  use  it  for  a  playground. 

The  building  to  the  north  seems  to  have  taken  form  at  the 
trustees'^  meeting  of  March  10,  1761,  when  the  subject  of  building 
a  dormitory  was  considered  because  of  the  "inconvenience  of 
the  scholars  being  boarded  at  such  great  distances,  etc."  The 
subject  was  brought  up  at  several  subsequent  meetings  and  on 
November  28th  of  the  same  year  the  Board  voted  to  erect  a  new 


12 


building  as  recommended  in  a  report  of  a  special  committee  which 
provided  for  a  building  seventy  feet  long  by  thirty  feet  wide,  which 
was  to  have  on  the  ground  floor  two  charity  schools  with  a  kitchen 
and  dining  room  and  in  the  upper  stories  sixteen  lodging  rooms 
with  a  cellar  beneath  the  hall.  On  April  12,  1762,  the  trustees 
decided  to  construct  the  new  building  on  the  north  side  of  the 
Academy  building  on  account  of  the  southern  exposure,  and  also

for  the  purpose  of  keeping  clear  the  south  door.  It  is  believed  that 
a  part  of  this  building  is  still  standing.  It  has  frequently  been 
urged  by  the  writer  that  this  part  and  a  reproduction  of  the  old 
Academy  together  with  the  first  home  of  Benjamin  Franklin  (on 
Spring  Street)  be  brought  out  to  the  present  campus  of  the  Uni- 
versity to  be  used  for  museum  and  dormitory  purposes.  These 
two  buildings  were  occupied  by  the  University  until  1802,  when 


13 

the  University  was  removed  to  the  present  site  of  the  United  States 
post  office  at  Ninth  and  Market  Streets. 

In  1765  a  School  of  Medicine  was  added  to  the  College.  The 
lectures  were  given  in  "Anatomical  Hall,"  or  "Surgeon's  Hall," 
which  stood  on  the  east  side  of  Fifth  Street  above  Walnut.  Later 
the  University  also  rented  rooms  in  the  American  Philosophical 
Society  Building  on  the  west  side  of  Fifth  Street  below  Chestnut 
Street.  Dr.  William  Shippen  and  Dr.  John  Morgan  were  the 
prime  movers  of  the  enterprise  and  to  John  Morgan  is  accorded 
the  honor  of  being  the  founder  of  the  Medical  School.  The  school 
grew  rapidly  and  attained  a  prominence  which  made  it  the  fore- 
most institution  of  its  kind  in  North  America,  and  notwithstanding 
the  fact  that  medical  schools  of  some  other  universities  have  made 
notable  progress  in  the  past  one  hundred  and  fifty  years,  it  has 
not  only  remained  in  the  front  rank,  but  at  the  present  time  prob- 
ably maintains  the  most  advanced  requirements  for  admission  to 
study  and  the  highest  standards  of  scholarship  for  graduation. 
Its  graduates  lead'  in  their  profession  in  every  locality  in  which  they 
practice.  The  Medical  School  from  the  time  of  its  inception  to 
that  of  its  complete  organization  was  modeled  after  that  of  the 
University  of  Edinburgh  and  its  "coat  of  arms"  is  a  Scotch  thistle. 

In  1779  the  charter  rights  and  privileges  of  the  college  were 
absorbed  by  a  new  organization,  called  in  its  charter  "The  Trustees 
of  the  University  of  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,"  making  it  the 
first  institution  in  the  United  States  to  be  designated  a  university, 
as  it  was  in  fact  the  first  to  establish  professional  schools  as  distinct 
from  the  college. 

In  1 79 1  it  was  incorporated  by  another  charter  as  "The  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania;"  the  charter  having  been  granted  jointly 
to  the  trustees  of  the  Charity  School  and  Academy;  of  the  College 
and  of  the  University. 

The  "Sons  of  Pennsylvania"  were  in  those  early  days,  as  they 
are  even  now,  among  the  leaders  in  educational,  social  and  political 
life.  The  first  Provost,  William  Smith,  was  one  of  the  ablest  edu- 
cators of  his  time,  and  the  college  course  planned  by  him  became 
the  model  which  has  been  followed  in  the  arrangement  of  the 
curriculum  of  most  of  the  modern  colleges. 

In  the  first  class  graduated,  in  May,  1757,  the  degree  of  Bachelor 
of  Arts  was  conferred  on  seven  young  men.  The  names  of  these 
were  Paul  Jackson,  Jacob  Duche,  Francis  Hopkinson,  Samuel 
Magaw,  Hugh  Williamson,  James  Latta  and  John  Morgan.  A 
noted  non-graduate  of  this  class  was  Benjamin  West,  the  great 
painter,  who  left  in  his  Sophomore  year  to  study  in  Europe.  Jacob 
Duche,  who  was  valedictorian  of  his  class,  was  Chaplain  to  Congress 
1 774_76;  Francis  Hopkinson,  author  of  "The  Battle  of  the  Kegs," 
was  also  a  member  of  the  Continental  Congress,  and  a  signer  of 
the  Declaration  of  Independence;  James  Latta  became  a  famous 
Presbyterian  minister  and  was  the  third  moderator  of  the  General 


H 

Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church;  Samuel  Magaw  became 
clergyman  of  the  Church  of  England;  John  Morgan  held  the  first 
medical  professorship  in  America,  and  was  the  physician-in-chief 
of  the  Continental  Army  1775-77,  and  Hugh  Williamson  was  a 
member  of  the  Continental  Congress  and  a  noted  scientist  and 
astronomer. 

To  mention  the  famous  graduates  of  succeeding  classes  would 
require  far  more  space  than  the  present  sketch  will  permit,  but 
we  may  claim,  without  being  charged  with  extravagance,  that  the 
twentieth  century  shows  a  similar  eminence  in  letters,  science  and 
statecraft  of  the  graduates  of  Pennsylvania. 

Situated  as  it  was  in  the  immediate  neighborhood  of  Independence 
Hall  and  within  the  sound  of  the  bell  that  proclaimed  "Liberty 
throughout   the   land,"    Pennsylvania   was   the   mother   of   many 


"presidential  mansion"  and  other  university  buildings  at 
ninth  and  chestnut  streets,  occupied  l802  to  1 829. 


patriots,  and  from  within  her  humble  walls  were  graduated  a  notable 
number  of  men  who,  at  the  risk  of  life  and  liberty,  became  prominent 
rebels  against  the  domination  of  Britain  and  who  incurred  the 
hostility  of  those  who  retained  their  loyalty  to  the  Crown. 

In  the  period  previous  to  the  year  1800,  Benjamin  Franklin 
and  nine  others  were  signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence; 
seven  of  the  University's  sons  were  signers  of  the  Constitution; 
twenty-one  were  members  of  the  Continental  Congress;  nine  were 
in  the  Senate  of  the  United  States;  eight  were  attorneys-general 
of  States  or  of  the  United  States;  six  were  justices  of  the  Supreme 
Court;  seven  were  governors  of  States;  and  many  other  officers 
in  the  Army  and  men  in  public  life  might  be  named  as  having 
received  their  education  at  the  old  buildings  at  Fourth  and  Arch 
Streets  before  1800. 


[15 

The  College  was  closed  for  a  period  of  fifteen  months  during  the 
occupation  of  Philadelphia  by  the  British  army  in  1777  and  1778, 
when  the  buildings  were  used  by  the  British  troops.  They  were 
also  used  for  a  time  by  the  soldiers  of  the  Continental  army.  In 
1778  Congress  met  in  the  old  College  Hall,  and  members  of  the 
Congress,  President  Washington  and  his  cabinet  attended  the 
public  functions  and  commencement  exercises  of  the  University. 

While  the  Provosts  of  the  University  during  its  early  years  were 
most  of  them  clergymen,  the  University  was,  from  the  start,  free 
from   sectarian    or   denominational   bias.      The    early   boards    of

trustees  included  Presbyterians,  Episcopalians,  Baptists,  Mora- 
vians and  Quakers.  The  earliest  society  of  Unitarian  Christians 
in  America  was  organized  in  this  first  building  of  the  University 
on  June  12,  1796,  under  the  influence  of  Joseph  Priestley,  widely 
known  as  a  thoughtful  philosopher,  as  the  discoverer  of  oxygen 
and  as  the  founder  of  modern  chemistry.  Very  curiously,  two 
years  before,  on  November  11,  1794,  Dr.  Priestley  was  unanimously 
elected  Professor  of  Chemistry  at  the  University,  an  honor  which 
he  greatly  appreciated  but  declined  because  he  had  already  estab- 
lished himself  elsewhere,  as  is  further  set  forth  by  Provost  Edgar 
F.  Smith  in  his  "Chemistry  in  America." 


16 


The  first  American  University  Professorship  in  Law  was  estab- 
lished in  1790  and  James  Wilson  was  appointed  to  the  position. 
Washington  attended  his  lectures. 

In  1799  the  University  conferred  on  Washington  the  degree  of 
LL.D.,  and  later  celebrated  his  birthday,  which  was  formally  set 
apart  in  1826  in  the  University  Calendar  as  an  annual  observance. 
The  day  is  known  to  the  students  and  alumni  as  "University  Day" 
and  is  celebrated  by  appropriate  exercises. 

Increasing  numbers  caused  the  trustees  to  seek  larger  quarters 
in  the  beginning  of  the  nineteenth  century.      Believing  that  the

seat  of  government  of  the  nation  would  remain  in  Philadelphia, 
the  State  of  Pennsylvania  had  built  a  "Presidential  Mansion" 
at  Ninth  and  Chestnut  Streets,  on  the  site  now  occupied  by  the 
Post  Office.  For  reasons  not  necessary  to  recount,  neither  Wash- 
ington nor  Adams  occupied  the  mansion  and  when  the  capital 
was  removed  to  Washington,  D.  C,  the  building  was  purchased 
by  the  trustees. 

In  1802  the  College  was  moved  into  this  building  and  occupied 
it  until  1829,  when  it  was  demolished  and  two  buildings  were 
erected  on  the  same  ground,  one  for  the  College  and  the  other  for 
the  Medical  School. 


17 

The  University  remained  in  the  two  buildings  at  Ninth  and 
Chestnut  Streets  until  1872,  when  the  necessity  for  larger  build- 
ings and  more  extensive  grounds  became  urgent  and  the  present 
site  was  secured  in  West  Philadelphia.  The  buildings  of  green 
serpentine  stone,  the  College,  Logan  Hall,  the  Hare  Laboratory

and  the  main  building  of  the  University  Hospital  were  erected  in 
the  years  immediately  following. 

There  have  been  twelve  Provosts  of  the  University:  the  thirteenth 
and  present  guide  of  its  destiny  is  Edgar  Fahs  Smith,  Sc.D.,  LL.D.; 
the  others  were  William  Smith,  D.D.,  1755-91;  John  Ewing,  D.D.,

It  will  be  seen,  then,  that  it  was  during  the  administration  of 
Provost  Stille"  that  the  University  moved  to  West  Philadelphia 
and  a  period  of  physical  expansion  ensued  which  has  continued 
during  forty  years,  at  the  beginning  of  which,  or  in  1873,  the  Uni- 
versity may  be  said  to  have  entered  upon  a  new  era. 

During  the  administration  of  Provost  Stille"  the  University 
Hospital  was  established  and  the  main  building  of  green  serpentine 
stone  was  built;  the  Towne  Scientific  School  was  founded  and 
allotted  a  wing  of  the  College;  the  Department  of  Music  was  estab- 
lished; the  Dental  School  was  founded  with  an  operating  room 
in  Hare  Laboratory. 

The  expansion  of  the  University  during  the  administration  of 
Provost  Pepper  by  the  addition  of  new  departments  is  a  wonderful 
record  and  it  has  been  inscribed  for  all  time  on  the  pedestal  of  his 
monument  on  the  campus.  He  established  the  Wharton  School 
of  Finance  and  Commerce;  the  Biological  Department;  the  Depart- 
ment of  Philosophy,  now  the  Graduate  School;  the  Veterinary 
School;  the  Training  School  for  Nurses;  the  Department  of  Physical 
Education;  the  University  Library;  the  Graduate  Department 
for  Women;  the  Department  of  Hygiene;  the  Department  of 
Architecture;  the  Wistar  Institute  of  Anatomy  and  Biology;  the 
William  Pepper  Laboratory  of  Clinical  Medicine;  the  Department 
of  Archaeology  and  Paleontology,  and  the  University  Museum. 
In  addition  to  these  the  Free  Library  of  Philadelphia  and  the 
Philadelphia  Commercial  Museums  were  the  creations  of  his  remark- 
able activity  and  genius. 

The  buildings  erected  during  his  term  of  office  were:  the  Library, 
the  Heat  and  Light  Station,  the  Laboratory  of  Hygiene,  Pepper 
Laboratory,  Wistar  Institute,  the  old  Veterinary  Buildings  (which 
occupied  the  present  site  of  the  new  Medical  Laboratories),  and 
Botanical  Hall. 

During  the  administration  of  Provost  Harrison  the  Houston 
Club  was  organized;  the  Flower  Astronomical  Observatory  was 
opened;  the  Summer  School  was  added  to  the  College;  College 
Courses  for  Teachers  were  established;  the  Evening  School  of 
Finance  and  Accounts  was  established,  and  the  Henry  Phipps 
Institute  was  transferred  to  the  University. 

Among  the  buildings  erected  were:  Houston  Hall;  the  Harrison 
Laboratory  of  Chemistry;  the  Engineering  Building  for  the  Towne 
Scientific  School;  the  Law  School  Building;  the  Gymnasium,  Training 
House  and  Stadium  on  Franklin  Field;  the  New  Medical  Labora- 
tories; the  Veterinary  Building;  the  Clinical  Building;  the  Flower 
Astronomical  Observatory,  and  twenty-seven  Dormitory  Houses. 


19 

The  Phipps  Institute  Building,  the  New  Zoological  Building  and 
part  of  the  Veterinary  Buildings  were  started  during  Provost 
Harrison's  term  and  completed  during  the  present  term  of  office 
of  Provost  Smith.

PROVOST   OF   THE    UNIVERSITY    SINCE   JANUARY    I,    I9I 


Aside  from  all  this,  Provost  Harrison  raised  more  funds  for  the 
endowment  of  professorships,  fellowships,  scholarships  and  build- 
ings than  all  of  his  predecessors  combined,  starting  with  a  liberal 
gift  of  his  own  which  will  ultimately  amount  to  a  million  dollars.

When  Dr.  Harrison  planned  the  establishment  of  the  Houston 
Club,  which  has  so  successfully  welded  the  great  cosmopolitan 
body  of  students  into  one  democratic  brotherhood,  he  little  thought 
that  the  success  of  this  project  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania 
would  influence  scores  of  colleges  and  universities  in  all  parts  of 
the  world  to  organize  similar  clubs,  and  that  the  Houston  Club 
idea  would  become  a  world-wide  movement  in  college  life.  Another 
feature  of  his  term  was  the  establishment  in  1901  of  the  bureau 
now  known  as  the  Recorder's  Office,  the  influence  of  which  has  also 
become  world-wide,  and  through  its  channels  not  only  the  alumni 
but  the  entire  educational  world  have  been  kept  in  touch  with  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania.  During  the  existence  of  this  bureau 
the  number  of  students  has  increased  from  2,573  to  6,332;  or  150 
per  cent,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  almost  every  department 
has  increased  its  entrance  requirements  and  the  standards  of  its 
courses.  From  a  delegation  of  115  students  representing  twenty- 
six  foreign  countries,  the  University  now  has  265  foreign  students 
representing  forty-four  countries;  and  the  number  of  students 
from  places  other  than  Pennsylvania  has  increased  from  796  to 
almost  2,000.  Old  Penn,  the  official  weekly  of  the  University 
was  founded,  and  the  office  has  gradually  accumulated  large  col- 
lections of  valuable  information  and  material. 

Since  the  installation  of  Provost  Edgar  F.  Smith  the  progress 
of  the  University  has  been  more  than  sustained.  The  new  building 
of  the  Dental  Department,  the  most  complete  and  imposing  edifice 
devoted  to  the  science  of  dentistry,  has  just  been  finished;  a  new 
Surgical  Laboratory  is  in  process  of  construction;  important  addi- 
tions are  being  made  to  the  Museum;  four  new  dormitory  build- 
ings have  been  added.  A  number  of  new  buildings  are  contemplated, 
such  as  a  Chapel,  Graduate  School,  Wharton  School,  Architectural 
School  and  Administration  Building. 

But  the  present  administration  of  the  University  is  conservative 
as  to  physical  expansion  and  devoted  to  the  further  advance  of 
the  schools  in  scholarship,  advocating  the  study  of  the  Classics  by 
all  students  in  the  College  as  indispensable  to  those  who  desire  to 
make  the  most  of  themselves  and  their  collegiate  and  subsequent 
career. 

One  of  the  most  prominent  features  of  this  administration  was 
the  division  in  September,  19 12,  of  the  College  into  three  depart- 
ments—The College,  The  Towne  Scientific  School,  and  The  Wharton 
School — and  the  appointment  of  a  dean  for  each  school. 

Another  important  movement  was  the  extension  of  University 
courses.  The  University  of  Pennsylvania  holds  a  unique  position 
in  the  educational  system  of  the  State.  It  has  inaugurated  many 
movements  for  sound  and  sane  education.  It  continues  to  be  the 
University  of  the  people  and  has  always  offered  its  services  to  all. 

In  order  to  make  these  services  more  effective,  Extension  Schools 
under  the  direction  of  the  Wharton  School  of  Finance  and  Com- 


21 


merce  have  been  established  at  Wilkes-Barre  and  Scranton,  and 
have  met  with  great  success  both  as  to  the  number  of  students  and 
the  hearty  approval  and  co-operation  of  the  civic  authorities.  A 
similar  school  is  expected  to  be  opened  in  the  fall  of  1914  in  Reading, 
Pa.  Lecture  courses  and  educational  courses  at  Harrisburg,  Altoona, 
Williamsport  and  other  centers  have  met  with  equal  success,  and 
a  new  movement  known  as  "Schoolmen's  Week"  has  been  estab- 
lished for  the  benefit  of  school  superintendents,  principals,  normal 
school  teachers  and  members  of  boards  of  education. 


A   GLIMPSE    OF   THE    BOTANIC    GARDENS. 


The  relations  of  the  University  to  the  people  of  the  City  of 
Philadelphia  and  its  environs  have  been  made  closer  by  the  estab- 
lishment at  the  beginning  of  the  academic  year  1913-14  of  a  course 
of  free  public  lectures  by  members  of  the  faculty,  on  Saturday 
afternoons,  in  Houston  Hall.  The  number  of  lectures  by  members 
of  foreign  and  American  universities  has  also  been  increased  and 
so  great  has  been  the  acceptance  of  these  privileges  that  on  some 
occasions  hundreds  of  people  have  been  turned  away,  thus  empha- 
sizing the  very  pressing  need  for  a  larger  auditorium. 


22 


The  environment  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  is  the  richest 
in  America  in  historical  interest.  Its  campus  of  one  hundred  and 
seventeen  acres  along  the  west  banks  of  the  Schuylkill  River  is 
only  ten  minutes'  ride  from  City  Hall,  the  center  of  a  population 
that  is  rapidly  approaching  two  millions.  The  campus  is  diversified 
with  terraces,  smooth  lawns  and  many  trees.  Many  of  the  build- 
ings are  overgrown  with  ivy  and  partly  concealed  behind  bushes 
and  foliage.  The  Botanic  Gardens,  with  their  heavily  shaded 
walks  twining  around  flower  beds,  the  lily  and  lotus  ponds,  the 
greenhouses,  filled  with  collections  of  rare  plants  from  all  parts 
of  the  world;   and  Hamilton  Walk,  shaded  with  tall  poplars,  weep- 


THE  DORMITORIES  FROM  THE  BOTANIC  GARDENS. 


ing  willows,  maples,  oaks  and  other  American  shade  trees  planted 
as  memorials  to  eminent  Pennsylvanians — all  combine  to  form  a 
pleasing  and  restful  prospect. 

Fairmount  Park  is  about  fifteen  minutes'  walk  from  the  College. 
Its  three  thousand  five  hundred  acres  of  hills  and  valleys  are  rich 
in  natural  beauty,  divided  by  the  placid  Schuylkill  River  and 
Wissahickon  Creek,  the  latter  noted  as  one  of  the  most  picturesque 
of  the  smaller  streams  of  America. 

On  the  banks  of  the  Schuylkill  is  the  College  Boat-house,  where 
students  may  secure  boats,  shells  or  canoes  for  practice  or  for  a 
spin  upon  the  National  Rowing  Course.     The  river  has  been  the 


23 

scene  of  many  races  of  American  college  crews,  and  is  the  course 
upon  which  the  national  regattas  are  held.  The  River  Drive 
extends  from  the  Pennsylvania  Boat-house  along  the  east  bank 
of  the  Schuylkill  and  up  the  Wissahickon  Creek  for  a  distance^  of 
eleven  miles.  The  plans  of  the  City  Parks  Association  provide 
for  the  extension  of  the  park  system  so  that  the  University  campus 
will  ultimately  be  connected  by  a  boulevard  with  Fairmount  Park 
on  the  north  and  with  Bartram's  Botanic  Gardens  on  the  south, 
and  also  with  numerous  small  parks. 

The  principal  buildings  of  the  University,  except  those  of  Phipps 
Institute  and  the  Astronomical  Observatory,  are  located  on  the 


CAMPUS    BETWEEN   LOGAN    AND    COLLEGE   HALLS. 


grounds  in  West  Philadelphia.  Phipps  Institute  is  at  Lombard 
and  Seventh  Streets  and  the  Astronomical  buildings  are  located 
on  a  hill  a  few  miles  from  the  campus,  away  from  the  hazy  sky  and 
vibrations  of  the  city.  Including  the  dormitory  houses,  there  are 
about  seventy  buildings  used  to  carry  on  the  work  of  the  University. 
Besides  these,  many  of  the  fraternities  and  the  Mask  and  Wig  Club 
occupy  buildings  of  their  own,  while  the  Christian  Association  has 
several  buildings  in  the  Schuylkill  River  district  devoted  to  settle- 
ment work. 

The^  Philadelphia  Museum  and  the  Philadelphia  Hospital  are  on 
adjoining  grounds,  the  latter,  with  the  University  Hospital,  offer- 


24 

ing  exceptional  opportunity  for  clinical  and  ward  study  by  the 
students  of  the  Medical  School. 

The  location  of  the  University  near  the  center  of  a  great  city 
affords  to  its  students  unusual  facilities  for  supplementing  their 
courses  by  practical  work^and  for  completing  their  academic  train- 
ing. Thus,  the  students  in  Finance  and  Commerce  and  in  Engineer- 
ing have  the  privilege  of  visiting  many  of  the  most  extensive 
industrial  plants  in  the  world.  The  American  Philosophical 
Society,  Franklin  Institute,  the  American  Academy  of  Natural 
Sciences,  and  similar  organizations  have  their  headquarters  and 
collections  in  the  city,  to  which  students  interested  in  the  sciences 
are  always  made  welcome.     Law  students  may  witness  the  trials

of  cases  in  all  of  the  courts  of  the  city  and  State,  and  in  two  of  the 
Federal  courts. 

For  a  century  and  a  half  Philadelphia  has  been  recognized  as  the 
medical  center  of  America.  Within  its  limits  there  are  six  medical 
schools,  three  dental  schools,  two  schools  of  pharmacy  and  one  of 
veterinary  medicine,  and  in  all  of  these,  several  thousand  students 
are  enrolled  every  year.  There  are  also  several  post-graduate 
schools,  a  number  of  museums  and  medical  libraries,  and  sixty- 
four  general  hospitals.  Nowhere  in  America  can  such  facilities 
for  medical  study  and  research  be  equaled. 

The  Christian  Association  is  an  active  factor  in  the  moral  and 
social  interests  of  the  students.     Under  its  supervision  is  conducted 


25 

the  settlement  work  in  the  Schuylkill  River  district,  and  under 
the  direction  of  an  allied  board  of  trustees  is  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  Medical  School  in  Canton,  China,  which  has  had  a 
remarkably  successful  growth.  The  Association  also  conducts 
a  summer  camp  and  the  daily  chapel  service. 

It  has  always  been  the  aim  of  the  faculty  to  encourage  a  spirit 
of  fellowship  among  the  students.  The  first  and  most  effective 
step  in  this  direction  was  the  organization  of  the  Houston  Club, 
of  which  we  have  already  spoken,  and  which,  in  the  fall  of  1896, 
moved  into  one  of  the  most  handsome  club  houses  in  Philadelphia. 
About  the  club  as  a  center  revolves  the  social  life  of  the  University. 


HOUSTON   CLUB    RECEPTION    HALL. 


The  approach  is  imposing  and  the  spacious  vestibule  leads  into 
a  large  _  reception  room.  From  its  heavy  beamed  ceilings  hang 
chandeliers  of  dull  brass;  upon  the  walls,  paneled  with  quartered 
oak,  are  trophies  of  the  hunt  and  rare  paintings  and  engravings; 
scattered  over  the  room  and  around  the  high  open  fireplaces  are 
oak  and  leather-upholstered  easy  chairs  and  settees;  the  highly 
polished  hard-wood  floors  are  covered  with  oriental  rugs.  Com- 
fortable window-seats  are  provided  along  all  windows  and  in  the 
alcoves.  In  the  building  are  several  billiard  rooms,  a  supply  store, 
a  barber  shop,  trophy  rooms,  society  rooms,  photographer's  dark 
room,  dining  room,  music  room,  guest  chamber,  auditorium  with 
a  pipe  organ.     The  auditorium  is  used  as  a  chapel  and  for  the 


26 


Sunday  services,  lectures,  smokers,  balls,  dances,  dinners,  recep- 
tions and  student  entertainments.  Every  male  student,  upon 
matriculating,  becomes  a  member  of  the  Club  and  of  the  Gymna- 
sium. 

The  Dormitory  Houses  are  thirty  in  number,  all  erected  since 
1895.  The  buildings  are  of  the  late  Tudor  Gothic  style,  and  are 
named  for  their  donors  or  for  distinguished  alumni.  All  of  the 
houses  face  the  courtyards,  the  entrance  to  which  is  through 
either  of  two  gateways  known  as  "Memorial  Tower,"  and  "Provosts' 
Tower."  These  two  entrances  insure  privacy  to  the  residents. 
The  houses  are  not  communicating.  Each  has  its  own  staircase 
and   entrance  leading   into   one   of  the  courtyards.     Student  self-

government  is  a  feature  of  the  dormitory  system.  The  rooms  are 
cheerful  and  homelike;  the  interior  woodwork  is  finished  in  dark 
quartered  oak,  and  the  furniture  is  of  the  same  material.  Many 
of  the  rooms  have  window  seats  and  open  fireplaces.  The  poorest 
student  receives  the  same  service  and  attention  as  the  wealthiest, 
the  only  difference  being  in  the  location  and  size  of  the  rooms. 
The  courtyards,  the  "Dorm  Steps,"  "The  Terrace"  and  other 
familiar  spots  about  the  dormitories  are  favorite  meeting  places 
for  rehearsals  of  college  songs  and  (cheers,  for  mass  meetings  and 
reunions,  and  for  celebrating  victories.  Although  the  comforts 
and  conveniences  are  greater  and  the  environment  more  pleasant 
than  those  of  the  average  boarding  house,  the  cost  of  living  at 
the  University  dormitories  is  usually  somewhat  less. 


*7 

The  general  mingling  of  the  students  incident  to  dormitory  life 
and  fostered  by  the  Houston  Club  and  the  Gymnasium  has  greatly 
strengthened  the  fellowship  of  the  students,  so  that  Pennsylvania 
may  claim  to  be  one  of  the  most  democratic  of  universities.  In 
athletics,    also,    the   regulations   adopted   by   the   Department   of 


Y   TERRACE. 


Physical  Education  have  brought  about  the  desired  fraternal  con- 
ditions. The  students  who  show  exceptional  ability,  and  who 
make  'Varsity  teams,  are  no  longer  the  only  ones  who  use  the 
Gymnasium,  the  athletic  fields  and  boat-houses,  but  all  students 


28 

are  now  obliged  to  take  some  form  of  physical  exercise.  Each 
student,  upon  matriculating,  is  examined  by  the  Director  of  Physical 
Education,  who  is  also  Professor  of  Physical  Education,  and  who 
prescribes  the  amount  and  character  of  exercise  necessary  to  keep 
the  student  in  health  while  at  the  University,  a  monthly  record 
being  kept  of  his  development.  This  method  not  only  gives  many 
men,  whose  ability  might  otherwise  never  have  been  discovered, 
opportunities  to  make  athletic  teams;  but,  what  is  more  important, 
the  men  leave  the  University  better  equipped  physically. 


THE   RELAY   RACES   ON    FRANKLIN   FIELD. 

Every  sport  popular  among  American  college  students  is  sup- 
ported by  the  students  of  the  University.  During  the  spring  and 
the  early  weeks  of  summer,  most  of  the  out-of-door  sports  are  in 
vogue,  such  as  baseball,  track  athletics,  cricket,  tennis,  lacrosse, 
golf  and  rowing.  Football  is  the  principal  attraction  during  autumn, 
although  cross-country  running,  gunning  and  some  of  the  spring 
sports  and  games  receive  attention.  Among  the  indoor  sports  and 
games  popular  among  the  students  during  the  winter  seasons,  are 
basket-ball,  wrestling,  fencing,  sparring,  swimming,  water  polo 
and  gymnastics.  The  home  contests  are  usually  held  on  Franklin 
Field,  which  is  fitted  up  with  a  quarter-mile  track,  a  baseball  dia- 


29 

mond,  a  football  field'and  accommodations  for  field  sports.  Stands 
with  a  seating  capacity  of  30,000  enclose  three  sides  of  the  field, 
the  fourth  side  being  taken  up  by  the  Gymnasium  building  and 
two  memorial  gates.  Underneath  the  stands  are  indoor  tracks  and 
the  winter  training  quarters  for  the  track  team.  At  the  annual 
relay  races,  athletes  from  every  section  of  the  United  States  and 
some  from  abroad  meet  on  Franklin  Field  to  compete  in  track  and 
field  sports.  The  308  team  entries  for  these  races  in  1914  included 
several  thousand  athletes  from  all  parts  of  America  and  one  four- 
mile  relay  team  from  Oxford  University,  England. 


THE     TAURIANS,        GIVEN     IN     GREEK     BY     THE 
STUDENTS. 


During  the  winter  social  functions  are  frequent.  Fraternities 
give  teas  and  dances;  the  clubs  and  societies  of  the  professional 
departments  give  smokers,  dinners  and  banquets;  the  glee,  banjo 
and  mandolin  clubs  and  other  musical  organizations  give  concerts; 
the  various  dramatic  societies  give  their  annual  plays;  and  the 
literary  societies  hold  debates  with  similar  societies  from  other 
colleges;  and  debating  teams  selected  from  the  entire  student 
body  meet  teams  from  other  universities. 

Student  life  at  any  institution  would  be  incomplete  without 
college  papers.  Pennsylvania  is  no  exception  to  this  rule;  its 
students  publish  a  daily  paper,  one  literary  monthly  and  one  comic 


30 

magazine.  The  University  also  publishes  every  week  the  Chronicle, 
containing  a  list  of  events  to  take  place  the  week  following  the 
day  of  publication,  and  Old  Penn,  a  weekly  review  of  all  University 
news.  The  General  Alumni  Society  sends  to  its  members  a  monthly 
magazine,  The  Alumni  Register.  The  Law  and  Dental  Schools 
and  other  departments  of  the  University  also  publish  magazines 
devoted  to  the  interests  of  their  respective  professions. 

The  most  prominent  social  and  dramatic  event  of  the  year  is 
the  Easter  Week  production  of  the  Mask  and  Wig  Club.  For 
twenty-six  successive  years  the  club  has  staged  a  new  play  in  the

THE   DEUTSCHER   VEREIN. 

nature  of  an  extravaganza  or  burlesque,  the  book  and  the  music 
being  written  by  its  members.  The  cast  and  chorus  usually  include 
from  seventy-five  to  one  hundred  undergraduates.  The  first  pre- 
sentation is  usually  at  Atlantic  City  on  Saturday^  eight  perform- 
ances are  given  during  the  following  week  in  a  leading  Philadelphia 
theater,  after  which  single  night  stands  are  made  at  several  cities 
upon  the  requests  of  the  alumni.  The  Mask  and  Wig  plays  have 
been  given  in  New  York,  Buffalo,  Rochester,  Boston,  New  Haven, 
Pittsburgh,  Washington,  Baltimore,  Richmond,  Wilmington  and 
Wilkes-Barre.      From  its  surplus  earnings  the  club  has  built  a 


31 

dormitory  house  at  a  cost  of  about  $50,000,  and  it  now  contemplates 
building  a  Provost's  Residence  on  the  campus. 

Other  dramatic  events  are  the  annual  original  plays  of  the  Archi- 
tectural Society;  the  presentation  of  French  plays  by  the  Cercle 
Francais;  of  German  plays  by  the  Deutscher  Verein;  of  Italian 
plays  by  the  Circolo  Italiano;  of  Old  English  plays  by  the  Philo- 
mathean  Society  and  Zelosophic  Society. 

There  are  numerous  student  organizations  within  the  University. 
Membership  in  many  of  them,  such  as  the  musical  societies,  dramatic 
clubs,  automobile,  camera  and  athletic  clubs,  and  Christian  Associa-

tion,  is  open  to  all  students;  membership  in  others  is  restricted  to 
students  of  the  professional  departments,  to  men  of  particular 
political  or  religious  beliefs  or  of  certain  scholastic  standing.  There 
are  about  fifty  Greek  letter  fraternities,  twelve  general  societies, 
twenty  college  societies,  ten  medical  societies,  seven  law  clubs, 
four  dental  societies,  one  veterinary  society,  twelve  preparatory 
school  clubs,  twenty-six  undergraduate  class  organizations  and 
fifty  sectional  clubs;  the  last  named  being  composed  of  men  coming 
from  the  same  countries,  states  or  counties.  Besides  the  class 
organizations,  there  are  also  eight  local  and  seventy-seven  other 
alumni  societies.

Among  the  customs  peculiar  to  students  at  Pennsylvania  are 
the  annual  "Bowl  Fight,"  "Poster  Fight,"  "Chapel  Fight,"  the 
"May  Day  Sports,"  etc.  The  "Bowl  Fight"  marks  the  end  of 
all  differences  between  the  Sophomore  and  Freshman  classes,  it 
having  largely  supplanted  the  numerous  class  fights.  Hazing  has 
been  abolished.  The  "May  Day  Sports"  had  their  origin  when, 
in  1898,  the  students  in  the  Dormitories,  attired  in  their  night- 
clothes,  were  called  out  by  some  of  their  number  to  celebrate 
Dewey's  victory.  Ever  since,  the  night  of  the  First  of  May  has 
been  set  apart  for  a  student  parade,  a  huge  bonfire,  wrestling,  tug- 
of-war  and  other  sports,  on  Franklin  Field.

THE    BOWL    FIGHT. 


Brief  sketches  of  each  of  the  various  departments  and  schools 
of  the  University  and  descriptions  of  the  buildings  in  which  they 
are  housed  will  be  found  on  succeeding  pages. 

We  acknowledge  the  loyalty  and  self-sacrificing  spirit  of  the 
alumni,  the  faculty  and  the  officers  of  administration  during  one 
hundred  and  seventy  years,  and  during  the  past  few  years  the 
generous  assistance  of  the  city  and  State.  The  University  is  not 
the  gift  of  a  single  philanthropist  or  of  a  group  of  men,  but  of  many. 
With  meagre  endowment  and  often  with  strained  resources  the 
University  has  won  a  place  among  the  foremost  in  scholarship  as 
well  as  in  equipment. 


ITINERARY  SUGGESTED 

The  following  is  a  "lecture"  prepared  by  the  Recorder  of  the 
University  for  a  sight-seeing  automobile  company  which  had 
its  cars  come  through  the  University  grounds.  It  will  be  found 
of  value  to  those  who  wish  to  take  friends  through  the  University 
in  the  shortest  time,  and  without  retracing  footsteps. 

Approach  the  University  from  Thirty-fourth  and  Chestnut 
Streets,  and  on  arriving  on  the  west  side  of  Thirty-third  Street, 
say: 

"We  are  now  approaching  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  which 
was  founded  by  Benjamin  Franklin  and  which  had  its  origin  in  a 
charity  school  organized  in  1740.  Among  the  American  universities 
it  is  the  third  oldest,  but  was  the  first  institution  to  be  called  a  uni- 
versity and  the  first  one  to  embody  the  idea  of  a  university.  It  is 
located  within  ten  minutes'  ride  of  the  center  of  a  metropolis  of  a 
population  of  more  than  a  million  and  a  half.  Its  campus  consists 
of  117  acres,  on  which  there  are  more  than  seventy  buildings,  besides 
many  club  and  fraternity  houses.  Here  6,000  students  are  drawn 
annually  from  every  State  in  the  Union,  and  from  forty-five  to  fifty 
foreign  countries. 

"To  the  right  (pointing  to  the  building  at  the  southwest  corner 
of  Thirty-fourth  and  Chestnut  Streets)  is  the  Law  School  Build- 
ing which  was  erected  in  1900.  It  is  devoted  exclusively  to  the 
teaching  of  law,  and  is  considered  one  of  the  best  specimens  in 
America  of  English  classical  architecture  of  the  time  of  William 
and  Mary.  This  is  the  earliest  University  Law  School  in  the 
United  States,  its  first  professor  having  been  appointed  in  1790. 

"  (In  going  from  the  Law  School  down  to  Thirty-fourth  and 
Woodland  Avenue.)  Many  of  the  private  dwellings  within  a  radius 
of  three  or  four  squares  of  the  campus  are  occupied  by  student 
clubs  and  fraternities.  The  one  to  the  left  of  us  at  the  forks  of  the 
road  is  the  new  Zeta  Psi  House.  To  the  right  is  the  Phi  Delta  Theta. 
The  buildings  in  the  square  ahead  to  the  left,  on  Thirty-fourth 
Street  between  Walnut  and  Spruce,  are,  first,  at  the  corner,  Bennett 
Hall,  which  will  be  the  site  of  the  new  Graduate  School  Building; 
the  next  one,  the  Randal  Morgan  Laboratory  of  Physics;  then 
the  Laboratory  of  Hygiene,  and  the  last  one,  the  John  Harrison 
Laboratory  of  Chemistry.  On  the  right  hand  side  of  the  street, 
the  large  red  structure  on  the  campus  is  the  General  Library  Build- 
ing, erected  in  189 1;  it  contains  about  400,000  volumes,  among 
which  are  many  notable  and  rare  collections  of  books;  one  of 
these  is  the  '  Memorial  Library  of  the  Publications  of  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania  and  Her  Sons,'  which  contains  several  thousand 
volumes  of  writings  by  University  of  Pennsylvania  men. 

"  (Going  west  on  Woodland  Avenue,  and  approaching  the  middle 
of  the  square.)  The  large  centrally  located,  ivy-covered  building  in 
the  middle  of  the  campus  to  the  left  is  College  Hall.     This  was

erected  in  1873,  and  is  one  of  the  original  group  of  buildings  to  be 
located  in  West  Philadelphia.  The  academic,  architectural  and 
music  courses  are  given  in  this  building.  The  houses  to  the  right 
of  us  are  known  as  'Fraternity  Row,'  and  are  occupied  by  the 
Delta  Phi,  Delta  Tau  Delta,  Beta  Theta  Pi,  and  Omega  Tau  Sigma. 
The  small  one  is  known  as  'Alumni  Hall,'  and  used  to  be  occupied 
by  the  General  Alumni  Society.  More  than  sixty  thousand  men 
have  attended  the  University  since  it  was  founded,  and  those  now

living  are  all  eligible  to  membership  in  this  society.  The  first  floor 
is  occupied  by  The  Pennsylvanian,  a  daily  newspaper  published 
by  the  students.  There  are  eleven  other  weekly  and  monthly 
magazines  published  at  the  University.  The  next  building  on 
the  campus  to  our  left  is  Logan  Hall,  which  is  also  one  of  the  original 
buildings.  It  was  formerly  occupied  by  the  Medical  School,  but 
is  now  the  home  of  the  Wharton  School  of  Finance  and  Commerce. 
This  school  was  established  in  1883  and  was  the  first  of  its  kind  in 
the  world.  Many  other  university  schools  have  since  been  organized] 
along  similar  lines. 


36 

"The  beautiful  marble  and  light  brick  building  at  the  corner  on 
our  right  is  the  Phi  Kappa  Sigma  House,  a  national  Greek-letter 
fraternity  which  was  organized  at  Pennsylvania  in  1850.  Opposite 
are  the  houses  of  Nu  Sigma  Nu,  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon,  and  the 
Acacia  Fraternity.  The  gray  building  in  front  of  us,  at  the  forks 
of  the  road,  is  the  Psi  U  House,  another  Greek-letter  fraternity; 
behind  it  is  the  Delta  Upsilon,  and  opposite  the  Phi  Gamma  Delta. 
A  hundred  feet  further  on  the  north  side  of  Locust  Street  are  the 
Delta  Psi  and  Phi  Kappa  Psi  houses.  The  large  yellow  building 
to  our  left  is  the  Wistar  Institute  of  Anatomy.     This  also  is  the

only  institute  of  its  kind  in  America,  and  was  founded  in  1892, 
although  the  museum  which  it  houses  was  begun  in  1808.  The 
buildings  cover  the  entire  block. 

"The  vacant  lot  with  tennis  courts  to  our  right  (pointing  to 
about  the  middle  of  the  square)  is  the  site  of  the  new  home  of  the 
Wharton  School.  We  are  now  approaching  the  dormitories.  The 
tower  directly  before  us,  to  our  left,  is  the  main  entrance  to  one 
of  the  dormitory  courtyards,  known  as  'The  Triangle.'  The  tower 
was  dedicated  in  1901,  and  is  a  memorial  to  the  Pennsylvania 
students  and  alumni  who  were  engaged  in  the  Spanish-American 
War. 


37 

"(In  going  past  the  Woodland  Avenue  side  of  the  dormitories.) 
These  dormitory  buildings  were  begun  in  1895,  and  when  finished 
will  enclose  five  courtyards.  The  group  now  consists  of  thirty 
separate  buildings,  each  named  for  an  eminent  alumnus,  or  for  its 
donor.  There  are  no  doorways  to  any  of  the  houses  leading  out 
into  the  street — all  face  five  courtyards  within.  At  present  almost 
a  thousand  students  can  be  accommodated  here.  When  the  system 
is  completed  it  will  include  a  dining  hall  and  an  auditorium.  The 
architecture  is  the  old  Tudor  Gothic  style,  and  with  their  wide  court- 
yards they  strongly  suggest  the  Oxford  and  Cambridge  colleges  of 
England.  Every  student,  rich  or  poor,  receives  the  same  service, 
accommodations  and  furnishings,  the  only  distinction  being  in  the 
location  of  the  rooms. 


THE    DORMITORY    " TRIANGLE"    IN    WINTER    GARB. 


"The  architecture  of  these  dormitories  and  most  of  the  modern 
buildings  on  the  campus,  is  of  the  same  general  style,  which  origi- 
nated at  this  University  and  which  has  been  followed  by  many 
other  institutions. 

"(Approaching  Thirty-ninth  and  Woodland  Avenue,  and  point- 
ing to  the  large  brick  structure  at  Thirty-ninth  and  Woodland 
Avenue.)  _  To  our  right  are  the  buildings  of  the  Veterinary  School 
and  Hospital  of  the  University.  This  plant  is  the  most  spacious 
and  best  equipped  veterinary  building  and  hospital  in  America. 
The  buildings  occupy  almost  an  entire  square,  and  are  constructed 
around  a  courtyard.  The  State  Livestock  Sanitary  Board  also 
has  its  laboratories  here. 


38 

"One  square  above,  at  Fortieth  and  Spruce  Streets,  is  the  Evans 
Dental  Institute  and  Dental  School  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. It  is  the  largest  and  best  equipped  plant  in  the  world  for 
teaching  dentistry. 

"(Turning  around  and  going  into  Hamilton  Walk.)  We  are 
now  entering  Hamilton  Walk  through  a  Memorial  Gate  presented 
by  the  Class  of  1873.  There  are  a  number  of  these  beautiful  gates 
and  memorials  in  various  parts  of  the  campus.     The  stretch  before

us  is  Hamilton  Walk.  On  either  side  are  trees  which  have  been 
planted  as  memorials  to  eminent  Pennsylvanians.  To  the  left 
of  us  are  the  dormitory  houses,  which  form  the  southern  boundary 
of  various  courts.  The  first  building  to  our  right  is  the  new  Zoo- 
logical Building,  which  has  just  been  constructed  at  a  cost  of  almost 
half  a  million  dollars.  It  contains  ninety-two  rooms,  and  is  devoted 
entirely  to  study  and  research  work  in  zoology.  The  next  build- 
ing to  our  right  is  the  Vivarium,  which  contains  fresh  and  salt  water 
tanks  for  live  specimens  for  zoological  research. 


39 

"The  next  building  to  our  right,  completely  covered  with  ivy, 
is  Botanical  Hall,  and  immediately  in  the  rear  are  the  greenhouses; 
among  the  plants  housed  there  are  a  number  of  rare  and  valuable 
collections  of  orchids  and  fly-trap  plants.  In  the  hall  itself  are  the 
famous  Bartram  and  Stille  Biological  Libraries.  Behind  this  group 
of  buildings  are  the  botanical  gardens,  in  which  there  are  several 
thousand  species  and  varieties  of  plants.  The  gardens  cover  four 
acres,  and  with  the  beautiful  lily  and  lotus  ponds  form  one  of  the 
most  attractive  features  of  the  campus. 

"  (Going  further  down  the  walk.)  To  the  right  of  us  is  the  Medical 
Laboratory  Building.  The  medical  school  of  the  University  is  the 
oldest  in  North  America,  having  been  founded  in  1765.  The  school 
occupies  six  educational  buildings,  of  which  this  is  the  most  impos- 
ing. The  architecture  is  distinctly  Pennsylvanian,  and  in  keeping 
with  the  other  new  structures  of  the  University.  To  the  left  of 
us  is  the  site  for  the  extension  of  the  dormitory  system.  This  will 
ultimately  be  completely  enclosed  with  dormitory  buildings. 

"  (Approaching  Thirty-sixth  Street.)  To  the  south  of  us  is  the 
Philadelphia  Hospital,  with  a  capacity  of  more  than  five  thousand 
patients,  and  in  which  the  University  medical  students  frequently 
have  bedside  instruction.  To  the  right  of  us  are  two  squares  of 
hospital  buildings  belonging  to  the  University,  with  a  capacity  of 
more  than  four  hundred  beds.  The  brick  building  immediately 
to  our  right  is  the  Maternity  Building.  The  frame  building  to  our 
left  is  the  old-time  dining  hall,  now  used  by  the  Architectural  School 
as  a  studio.  The  next  buildings  to  our  left  are  part  of  the  dormitory 
system,  and  form  part  of  the  boundaries  of  the  east  and  south 
quads.  They  are  the  Graduate  House,  and  the  Provosts'  Tower, 
the  latter  being  dedicated  to  the  men  who  served  as  Provosts  since 
the  beginning  of  the  University. 

"  (Passing  now  through  the  Class  of  '72  Memorial  Gate  and 
turning  down  Spruce  Street,  point  towards  the  yellow  building  at 
Thirty-sixth  and  Spruce  Streets.)  That  is  the  other  end  of  the 
Wistar  Institute  of  Anatomy.  (Then  turning  down  Spruce.)  To 
the  left  of  us  is  the  Robert  Hare  Chemical  Laboratory,  used  by 
the  medical  students.  The  brick  building  to  the  right  is  the  William 
Pepper  Clinical  Laboratory,  a  memorial  to  the  father  of  the  late 
Provost  Pepper.  The  next  building  to  the  right  is  the  new  Clinical 
Building  of  the  Hospital.  It  is  planned  to  reconstruct  the  front 
elevations  of  all  the  hospital  buildings  to  conform  to  this  one. 

"(Then  pointing  through  the  gateway  opposite.)  That  is  the 
Memorial  Gate  of  the  Class  of  '93 ;  looking  through  it  we  see  several 
fraternity  houses  in  the  distance,  and  also  the  rear  of  Logan  and 
College  Halls. 

"The  gray  stone  building  to  our  left,  directly  in  front  of  us,  is 
Houston  Hall,  the  home  of  the  Houston  Club,  to  which  more  than 
five  thousand  students  and  alumni  of  the  University  belong.  The 
building  was  named  in  memory  of  Henry  Howard  Houston,  Jr.

a  graduate  of  the  Class  of  1878,  the  hall  being  the  gift  of  his  parents. 
It  was  designed  by  two  University  students.  The  architecture  is 
Elizabethan.  The  building  is  furnished  and  equipped  as  well  as 
the  most  exclusive  clubs  in  the  city.  Upon  the  walls  of  this  build- 
ing are  so  many  portraits  of  Provosts  and  eminent  alumni,  and 
memorial  tablets  to  illustrious  Pennsylvanians,  that  the  students 
sometimes  refer  to  their  club  house  as  'The  Westminster  Abbey 
of  Pennsylvania.'  This  club  is  the  geographical  center  of  the 
University,  and  around  it  revolves  the  social  life  of  the  students. 


CAMPUS   AND   COLLEGE   TOWER  FROM   WOODLAND    AVENUE. 


Here  the  men  of  all  departments,  rich  and  poor,  fraternity  and 
non-fraternity  men  of  all  conditions  of  life  and  nationalities,  meet 
daily  on  common  ground.  This  movement  also  originated  at 
Pennsylvania,  and  has  been  one  of  the  most  successful  factors  in 
fostering  a  democratic  spirit  among  the  students.  The  Houston 
Club  idea  has  been  taken  up  by  other  educational  institutions 
and  there  are  now  many  similar  organizations  throughout  the 
country.

"The  next  building  to  our  right  is  the  main  entrance  to  the 
University  Hospital;  and  the  next,  the  Agnew  Surgical  Pavilion, 
named  in  honor  of  the  late  D.  Hayes  Agnew,  the  eminent  American 
surgeon  who  was  so  long  connected  with  the  University.  The 
building  next  to  it  at  the  corner  is  the  Surgical  Building  of  the 
Hospital,  and  behind  it  are  the  dormitories  for  the  Nurses'  Training 
School. 

"To  the  left  is  a  section  of  campus  showing  the  rear  of  College 
Hall  and  the  Library.  The  next  building  to  our  left  is  the  Light, 
Heat  and  Power  Station.      This  station  supplies  light,  heat  and

power  to  all  of  the  University  buildings,  and  heats  about  twenty-one 
million  cubic  feet  of  air  space.  It  consumes  at  times  one  hundred 
and  twenty-five  tons  of  coal  a  day.  The  building  to  our  left  (point- 
ing to  the  northeast  corner  of  Thirty-fourth  and  Spruce  Streets)  is 
the  John  Harrison  Laboratory  of  Chemistry — the  gift  of  the  former 
Provost  and  his  brothers.  In  this  building  are  also  the  offices  of  the 
present  Provost,  Dr.  Edgar  F.  Smith. 

"The  building  to  the  right  is  a  section  of  the  Archaeological 
Museum  of  the  University.  This  section  was  erected  in  1897, 
and  the  large  dome  in  the  rear  in  19 14.     It  is  considered  one  of  the 


unique  buildings  of  the  city.  The  Museum  building  when  com- 
pleted will  cover  twelve  acres  of  ground,  and  will  cost  about  three 
million  dollars.  The  section  you  now  see  is  about  one-seventh  of 
the  building  as  it  will  be.  The  architecture  is  the  only  specimen  of 
its  kind  in  America,  and  is  similar  to  the  style  which  prevailed  in 
Italy  in  the  thirteenth  century.  The  building  contains  a  very 
valuable  collection  of  antiquities,  among  them  being  the  famous 
clay  bricks  from  Babylon,  an  American  Indian  collection,  and  the 
earliest  known  fragments  of  the  Gospel.  The  statue  on  the  terrace 
is  that  of  the  late  Provost  William  Pepper.  In  the  rear  are  the 
grounds  for  the  extension  of  the  University,  and  the  buildings  of 
the  Commercial  Museums. 

"(Turning  up  Thirty-third  Street.)     To  the  right  of  us  is  the 
Gymnasium  and  Franklin  Field.     These  also  represent  an  outlay

FOOTBALL   GAME. 


of  more  than  a  million  dollars.  The  field,  which  can  accommodate 
about  30,000  people,  is  the  scene  of  most  of  Pennsylvania's  football, 
baseball,  track  and  miscellaneous  athletic  contests,  and  also  for 
many  years  has  been  the  scene  of  the  annual  football  game  between 
the  United  States  Naval  and  Military  Academies.  In  the  Gymna- 
sium is  a  swimming  pool  which  extends  almost  the  entire  length 
of  the  ground  floor. 

"The  red  brick  building  to  our  left  is  old  Dental  Hall,  which 
housed  the  most  famous  dental  school  in  the  world,  and  which 
attracted  many  students  from  foreign  countries.  In  its  halls  more 
than  30,000  free  treatments  and  operations  were  performed  annually. 
The  large  building  directly  in  front  of  this  is  the  Engineering  Hall. 
It  has  a  floor  area  of  128,000  square  feet,  and  houses  the  Mechanical, 
Civil  and  Electrical  Engineering  Departments.

"We  have  now  visited  most  of  the  important  buildings  of  the 
University,  with  the  exception  of  the  Astronomical  Observatory, 
the  Phipps  Institute  for  the  Treatment  and  Study  of  Tuberculosis, 
the  Southeastern  Dispensary,  and  the  University  Neighborhood 
House.  These  are  located  in  other  parts  of  the  city.  What  you 
have  seen  can  give  you  only  a  brief  insight  of  the  physical  equip-

ment  of  this  great  institution.  To  thoroughly  investigate  its 
educational  side  would  take  many  weeks  of  close  observation,  and 
to  learn  anything  of  the  students'  life,  one  must  live  among  them. 
The  campus  and  all  the  buildings  and  museums  are  open  to  the 
public  from  sunrise  to  sunset,  and  every  visitor  is  sure  of  a  cordial 
welcome," 


CAMPUS. — The  campus  of  the  University  covers  an  area  of 
one  hundred  and  seventeen  acres.  It  is  within  a  few  blocks  of  the 
geographical  center  of  Philadelphia  and  can  be  reached  in  ten 
minutes  from  the  City  Hall,  the  center  of  a  population  of  almost 
two  millions  of  people.  No  other  educational  institution  of  equal 
size  is  located  so  near  to  the  heart  of  a  great  city.  The  grounds 
extend  from  the  Schuylkill  River  at  Thirtieth  Street  on  the  east 
to  Fortieth  Street  on  the  west  and  from  Chestnut  Street  on  the 
north  to  near  Carpenter  Street  on  the  south.  The  grounds  are 
open  to  visitors  daily,  except  Sunday,  from  sunrise  to  sunset.  The 
University  also  owns  a  tract  of  ground  on  the  West  Chester  Pike, 
on  which  are  located  the  buildings  of  the  Astronomical  Observatory; 
these  are  open  to  visitors  on  Thursday  evenings.  Arrangements 
may  be  made  at  the  office  of  the  Recorder  of  the  University  to  have 
parties  of  visitors  taken  over  the  campus  and  through  the  principal 
buildings  and  museums. 

EQUIPMENT. — There  are  more  than  seventy  buildings  used 
to  carry  on  the  work  of  the  University;  of  these  nineteen  are 
devoted  to  teaching,  eleven  to  hospitals  and  auxiliary  buildings, 
thirty  dormitory  houses,  and  the  remainder  to  recreation  hall, 
gymnasium,  athletics,  etc.  Not  included  among  these  are  thirty 
or  forty  club  and  fraternity  houses. 

HOUSTON  HALL,  the  students'  club  house  of  the  University, 
was  erected  in  1895  and  formally  dedicated  on  January  2,  1896, 
in  memory  of  Henry  Howard  Houston,  Jr.,  a  graduate  of  the  Class 
of  1878  College,  by  his  parents,  H.  H.  and  S.  S.  Houston.  The 
building  has  a  frontage  on  Spruce  Street  of  150  feet  and  a  depth  of 
78  feet;  it  is  constructed  of  North  Conshohocken  and  Indiana 
limestone;  and  its  approximate  cost  was  $250,000;  designed  by 
two  graduates  of  the  School  of  Architecture  of  the  University, 
William  C.  Hays  and  M.  B.  Medary,  Jr.,  in  a  competition,  the 
first  and  second  prizes  being  awarded  to  them.  The  building  is  a 
combination  of  the  two  designs,  the  exterior  plans  of  the  second- 
prize  design  being  used  unchanged.  The  design  was  developed 
and  the  work  executed  under  Frank  Miles  Day,  with  Messrs.  Hays 
and  Medary  as  associate  architects.  The  style  of  architecture  is 
inspired  from  early  Elizabethan  examples  and  may  be  called 
"English  Collegiate."  The  building  is  three  stories  high  and  is 
one  of  the  most  spacious  and  best  furnished  club  houses  in  Phila- 
delphia. The  interior  finish  is  of  quartered  oak,  in  dark  brown 
shades.  Supporting  the  roof  of  the  auditorium  on  the  second  floor 
are  trusses  of  elaborate  design,  adapted  from  those  in  the  Great 
Hall  at  Eltham  Palace,  Kent.  The  device  used  in  a  decorative  way 
so  frequently  is  an  interweaving  of  Howard  Houston's  initials  with 
the  Early  Christian  symbol  of  "The  Lamb  of  God." 

On  the  first  floor  is  a  spacious  lounging  or  general  reception 
room.     In  the  east  wing  are  writing  rooms  and  a  library  reading 


46 

room,  in  which  are  kept  current  magazines  and  newspapers  and  a 
library  of  the  best  English  literature;  the  west  wing  of  the  first 
floor  and  part  of  the  basement  are  fitted  up  with  billiard  and  pool 
tables,  supply  store,  barber  shop,  etc.  The  offices  of  the  club, 
the  cloak  room,  and  the  University  branch  of  the  United  States 
post  office  are  located  on  the  first  floor. 

On  the  second  floor  is  a  restaurant,  an  auditorium  with  a  grand 
organ,  and  a  suite  of  three  "Trophy  Rooms."  In  the  latter  are 
displayed  many  prizes  won  in  athletic  competition,  and  on  the 
walls  are  panels  and  tablets  giving  the  names  and  records  of  dis- 
tinguished athletes.  The  Christian  Association  of  the  University 
also  occupies  a  suite  of  rooms  on  this  floor. 


LIBRARY   ROOM   OF   THE    HOUSTON   CLUB. 


On  the  third  floor  are  the  offices  of  the  Recorder  of  the  University, 
of  Old  Penn,  the  official  weekly  paper  of  the  University,  and  a 
dark  room  for  amateur  photographers,  and  several  society  rooms 
in  which  various  student  societies  hold  their  monthly  meetings. 

The  valuable  collection  of  framed  photographs,  illustrating 
masterpieces  of  architecture  and  sculpture,  and  representing  the 
various  schools  of  Renaissance  painting,  was  selected  and  arranged 
by  Mr.  Day;  while  the  furniture,  rugs,  casts,  etc.,  were  selected 
by  former  Provost  Harrison,  by  Mrs.  Harrison  and  by  the  architects. 

All  regular  students  upon  matriculating  become  members  of  the 
Houston  Club.  The  hall  is  the  scene  of  many  social  functions, 
dances,  public  lectures,  debates,  receptions,  dinners,  etc.,  during 
the  college  season.      The  University  Sunday  services  and  since 


47 

19 io,  the  daily  Chapel  services,  have  been  held  in  the  auditorium 
of  the  Hall.  One  of  the  principal  objects  which  the  founders  of 
the  Houston  Club  had  in  view  was  to  weld  together  into  a  closer 
bond  of  fellowship  the  great  cosmopolitan  body  of  students.  This 
it  was  thought  could  be  accomplished  by  providing  for  their  general 
comfort  and  welfare,  during  their  leisure  hours,  a  common  meeting 
ground  where  students  of  all  nationalities  and  creeds  and  men  of 
all  departments  could  mingle  with  each  other  daily  in  friendly 
intercourse.  It  was  an  experiment  and  was  the  first  general  student 
club  house  of  its  kind,  but  so  well  has  it  succeeded  in  accomplishing 
its  manifold  purposes  and  in  fostering  a  democratic  spirit  among 
the  students,  that  a  large  number  of  American  educational  institu- 
tions have  since  established  similar  club  houses.  The  Houston 
Club  idea  has  become  a  movement  which  is  gradually  being  adopted 
in  colleges  and  universities  both  here  and  abroad,  and  its  influence 
has  become  world  wide.  Because  of  the  many  memorials  to  alumni 
which  decorate  the  walls  and  panels  of  the  Houston  Club  the  build- 
ing is  frequently  referred  to  by  Provost  Smith  and  the  students  as 
the  "Westminster  Abbey  of  Pennsylvania."

generations,   is   here   recited: 
Honble  Robt  Morris. 
Dear  Sir, 

Knowing  full  well  the  multiplicity  &  importance  of  yr  busi- 
ness, it  would  give  me  more  pain  than  pleasure  if  I  thought  your 
friendship,  or  respect  for  me  did,  in  the  smallest  degree,  interfere 
with  it — At  all  times  I  shall  be  happy  to  see  you,  but  wish  it 
to  be  in  your  moments  of  leisure — if  any  such  you  have. 

Mrs.  Washington,  myself  and  family,  will  have  the  honor 
of  dining  with  you  in  the  way  proposed,  to-morrow — being  Christ- 
mas  Day. 

I  am  Sincerely  &  Affectly 
Yrs 
Monday  24th  Go   Washington.

THE  DORMITORY  HOUSES.— The  group  of  dormitory  houses 
when  completed  will  enclose  the  five  courtyards  known  as  the 
"Little  Quad,"  "The  Triangle,"  "The  Big  Quad,"  the  "East 
Quad"  and  the  "South  Quad".  Although  thirty  houses  have 
thus  far  been  constructed  in  these  "Quads,"  there  are  still  a  number 
of  dormitories  and  a  dining  hall  to  be  erected  along  the  Hamilton 
Walk  side  of  the  system  before  the  "Quads"  will  be  completely 
enclosed. 

The  dormitories  were  designed  by  Cope  and  Stewardson,  and 
are  mostly  in  the  English  Collegiate  style,  with  Elizabethan  detail, 
and  with  their  spacious  courtyards  strongly  suggest  the  Oxford 
and  Cambridge  colleges;  while  the  carved  bosses  in  the  main 
cornices  are  reminiscent  of  the  Gothic  period  in  architecture.  The 
architecture  of  the  buildings  enclosing  the  "South  Quad"  differs 
somewhat  from  the  Jacobean  surroundings  of  the  main  portion  of 
the  dormitory  buildings,  having  a  Tudor  atmosphere,  the  lime- 
stone trimmings  and  overhanging  eaves  being  no  longer  in  evidence. 
The  hard  burnt  brick  which  forms  the  principal  material  of  all  the 
dormitory  houses  is  of  the  same  uniform  color  as  that  used  in 
other  later  University  buildings,  with  which  they  are  in  keeping 
in  general  style,  giving  a  pleasing  architectural  effect  to  the  entire 
University  group  of  buildings  constructed  within  the  last  decade. 
The  dormitory  houses  are  on  the  separate  staircase  system,  and 
all  outer  doors  open  into  the  courtyards.  Those  in  the  "Triangle" 
and  the  "Little  Quad"  are  entered  through  the  Memorial  Tower 
archway;  while  those  in  the  "Big,"  "South"  and  "East"  Quads 
(which  occupy  the  site  of  the  old  athletic  field)  are  entered  through 
the  archway  of  the  Provosts'  Tower.  Other  beautiful  archways 
and  arcades  give  ready  access  to  the  various  Quads. 

The  thirty-one  dormitory  houses  have  accommodations  for 
more  than  a  thousand  students.  The  names  of  the  houses  are 
carved  on  tablets  over  the  entrance  doors  and  the  houses  are  named 
after  distinguished  alumni  or  benefactors.      The  rooms  and  halls 


62 

are  heated  by  steam  and  lighted  by  electricity.  On  every  floor 
there  are  a  number  of  lavatories  with  hot  and  cold  shower  baths. 
Practically  all  of  the  suites  and  double  rooms  and  many  of  the 
single  rooms  have  open  fireplaces.  The  University  supplies  for 
each  student:  bedstead,  mattress,  bureau,  washstand,  table,  book- 
case, chairs,  and  toilet  china.  In  the  more  recently  constructed 
dormitories  there  are  stationary  washstands  with  hot  and  cold 
water,  double  pedestal  desks,  dome  electroliers,  private  telephone, 
etc.  There  are  five  kinds  of  rooms,  viz.,  single,  single  suite,  double, 
double  suite,  and  triple  suite.  The  minimum  cost  of  a  room  in  the 
dormitories  is  $55.00  per  year.  All  students  are  treated  alike. 
Those  in  the  more  expensive  rooms  have  no  privilege  or  service 
which  is  not  shared  by  the  poorest  student. 

Among  the  points  of  interest  to  visitors  are: 

Class  of  '92  Memorial  Fountain,  by  Alexander  Calder,  sculptor 
(east  arcade). 

Class  of  '94  Memorial  Gate  (Memorial  Tower  gate). 

Class  of  '98  Memorial  Clock  (over  west  arcade). 

Class  of  'oo  Memorial  Sun  Dial  (in  the  "Little  Quad"). 

The  Terrace  (east  of  Bodine  and  Morris). 

Site  of  proposed  Dining  Hall  (south  of  Morris). 

The  rich  carvings  over  doors,  especially  the  grotesque  "bosses" 
of  the  string  course  between  the  second  and  third  floors. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  the  Dormitory  Houses  alphabetically 
arranged: 

JOHN  BAIRD  HOUSE  was  the  gift  of  John  E.  and  Thomas  E. 
Baird,  and  named  in  honor  of  their  father,  John  Baird.  Mr.  Baird 
was  born  in  1820.  He  became  eminent  as  merchant,  manufacturer, 
and  financier.  He  was  a  patron  of  Art  and  Science,  a  philanthropist 
and  prominent  in  affairs  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church.  He 
died  February  13,  1894.  The  house  has  accommodations  for  24 
students. 

BALDWIN  HOUSE  was  the  gift  of  John  H.  Converse,  of  Phila- 
delphia, in  memory  of  Matthias  W.  Baldwin  (1 795-1 866),  the 
founder  of  the  Baldwin  Locomotive  Works.  He  was  born  at 
Elizabethtown,  N.  J.,  and  was  one  of  the  most  benevolent  citizens 
of  Philadelphia;  many  charities  are  monuments  of  his  munificence. 
The  house  has  accommodations  for  28  students. 

BIRTHDAY  HOUSE  was  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Charles  C.  Harrison 
and  her  six  children.  A  brass  tablet  in  the  hallway  contains  the 
following  inscription: 

May  3.  1908

The  house  has  accommodations  for  27  students.

F.  Dickinson  Sergeant,  1908. 

THE  COLLEGE.— This  is  the  oldest  department  of  the  Uni- 
versity and  the  third  oldest  College  in  the  United  States.  It  had 
its  origin  in  the  Charity  School  which  was  founded  in  1 740,  although 
instruction  was  not  actually  begun  until  1751.  It  originally  included 
most  of  the  courses  now  given  except  those  in  the  Law,  Medical, 
Dental,  Veterinary  and  Graduate  Schools.  In  19 12,  the  College 
was  separated  into  three  schools,  viz.,  the  College,  the  Towne 
Scientific  School,  and  the  Wharton  School  of  Finance  and  Com- 
merce. In  the  former  are  now  included  the  courses  in  Arts  and 
Science,  Biology  and  Music,  also  the  Summer  School  and  Courses 
for  Teachers.  The  other  two  schools  include  many  subjects  of  the 
Arts  course.  Every  candidate  for  a  college  degree  must  take  sixty 
units  of  class  room  or  laboratory  work.  A  certain  number  of  courses 
are  required,  others  may  be  elected  in  certain  prescribed  groups, 
while  still  others  are  free  electives.  The  system  is  so  elastic  that 
after  the  student  has  taken  the  twenty-eight  units  of  required 
work,  he  may  practically  elect  the  remainder.  The  courses  lead 
to  the  degree  of  A.B.  and  B.S. 

In  1914  there  were  2,008  students  in  the  College,  and  159  members 
of  the  faculty. 

Most  of  the  instruction  in  the  Arts  and  Science  course  is  given 
in  College  Hall,  a  picturesque  ivy-covered  building,  and  the  oldest 
on  the  campus. 

COLLEGE  HALL  is  the  third  home  of  the  College;  the  first 
was  at  Fourth  and  Arch  Streets,  and  the  second  at  Ninth  and 
Chestnut  Streets  (where  the  Post  Office  now  stands).  College 
Hall  was  designed  by  Professor  Thomas  W.  Richards  of  the  Uni- 
versity Faculty,  and  is  in  a  style  reminiscent  of  Italian  Gothic; 
it  was  erected  in  1871.  It  is  built  with  serpentine  rock  and  has 
a  frontage  of  256  feet  along  the  Woodland  Avenue  campus,  and 


72 

a  depth  of  136  feet.  It  contains  class  and  lecture  rooms  for  such 
general  courses  as  English,  Mathematics,  History,  Languages,  etc., 
and  also  houses,  for  the  present,  the  School  of  Architecture.  The 
laboratories  of  Geology  and  Psychology  are  in  the  basement.  The 
General  University  offices  and  the  office  of  the  Dean  of  the  College 
are  to  the  right  and  left  of  the  entrance  on  the  first  floor;  the 
Museum  of  Geology  on  first  floor  center.  The  hall  formerly  used 
as  a  chapel  on  the  second  floor  is  now  an  architectural  drafting 
room.  The  School  of  Architecture  (with  permanent  exhibits  of 
drawings  of  interest  to  visitors)  is  on  the  third  floor.  The  rooms 
of  the  Philomathean  and  Zelosophic  Societies  are  on  the  fourth 
floor,  center.  The  "ivy  tablets"  on  the  front  of  the  building  are 
interesting.  Each  graduating  class  of  the  College  plants  an  ivy 
and  erects  a  tablet;  most  of  these  are  planted  near  College  Hall, 
although  others  will  be  found  on  Houston  Hall,  at  the  Library, 
and  at  the  dormitories. 

On  the  campus  in  front  of  College  Hall  and  the  Library  are  a 
number  of  memorial  trees.  Among  them  is  a  scion  of  the  Penn 
Treaty  Elm,  which  was  presented  by  Gen.  P.  A.  Oliver  and  planted 
for  the  Pennsylvania  Forestry  Association  by  Gov.  Daniel  H. 
Hastings  on  April  10,  1896;  around  this  tree  the  Class  of  1899 
College  has  erected  an  iron  fence. 

Near  by  is  a  red  oak  tree  planted  by  the  members  of  the  Class 
of  1868  College  as  a  memorial  to  their  class. 

To  the  west  of  the  main  walk,  leading  to  Thirty-fourth  Street 
and  Woodland  Avenue,  is  a  scion  of  the  Charter  Oak,  planted  as 
a  memorial  by  the  members  of  the  Class  of  1866  Medicine.  The 
tree  is  an  offshoot  of  the  historic  Charter  Oak  which  stood  in 
Hartford,  Conn.,  into  the  hollow  of  which  the  charter  of  the  Colony 
of  Connecticut  was  hidden  more  than  two  centuries  ago  when 
King  James  II  ordered  the  charter  revoked.

The  stained  glass  memorial  windows  which  were  formerly  in  the 
Chapel  were  removed  during  the  summer  of  19 10  and  stored  in 
the  basement  of  the  Dormitories.  This  was  made  necessary  to 
make  room  for  the  Architectural  Department,  the  Chapel  having 
been  transformed  into  a  drafting  room.  It  is  expected  that  these 
memorial  windows  will  add  charm  to  a  permanent  Chapel  to  be 
built  upon  the  campus  in  the  near  future. 

The  first,  presented  by  the  Zelosophic  Society,  is  inscribed  at

"These   I    gathered   in   my    palace    for   general    instruction." 

THE    JOHN    HARRISON    LABORATORY    OF    CHEMISTRY 

was  the  gift  of  Charles  Custis  Harrison,  Alfred  C.  Harrison,  and 
W.  W.  Harrison.  The  laboratory  was  named  for  their  grandfather, 
John  Harrison.  The  building  was  dedicated  in  1894  and  designed 
by  Cope  and  Stewardson,  It  shows  the  broad,  projecting  eaves 
and  other  characteristics  of  brick  architecture  in  the  Italian 
Renaissance  style.  The  building  has  a  frontage  on  Thirty-fourth 
Street  of  170  feet  and  a  depth  on  Spruce  Street  of  160  feet.  It  is 
one  of  the  best  equipped  chemical  laboratories  in  America.  It  is 
three  stories  high.     On  the  first  floor  is  a  large  laboratory  for  general 


93 


and  analytical  electrochemistry,  an  electric  furnace  room,  assay 
room,  room  for  heating  under  pressure,  assay  balance  room, 
laboratory  for  technical  chemistry,  the  offices  of  the  department, 
storage  rooms,  etc.  There  is  also  a  large  amphitheatre  seating  300 
persons.  On  the  second  floor  are  two  large  laboratories,  qualita- 
tive and  quantitative,  hydrogen  sulphide  rooms,  a  dark  room,  a 
spectroscope  room,  gas  analysis  and  reading  rooms,  lecture  rooms, 
a  museum  and  private  research  rooms.  On  the  third  floor  are  an 
organic  laboratory,  a  combustion  room,  and  several  private 
research  laboratories.  The  office  of  the  Provost,  Dr.  Edgar  F. 
Smith,  is  on  the  first  floor,  south  of  the  entrance.

On  the  first  landing  of  the  main  staircase  is  a  portrait  of: 

JOHN  HARRISON  (by  I.  L.  Williams,  after  Peale),  Eminent  scientist  and 
Pioneer  Chemical  Manufacturer  in  America  for  whom  the  Laboratory  was  named. 
The  portrait  was  presented  by  Provost  Charles  C.  Harrison. 


THE   RANDAL    MORGAN    LABORATORY    OF    PHYSICS  — 

These  buildings  and  an  endowment  of  $250,000  are  the  gifts  of 
Randal  Morgan  of  the  Class  of  '73,  and  a  Trustee  of  the  University. 
The   buildings   face   Thirty-fourth   Street   below   Walnut   Street. 


94 

They  are  constructed  of  red  brick,  are  three  stories  high,  and  were 
designed  by  Cope  and  Stewardson,  in  the  style  of  the  brick  archi- 
tecture of  the  Italian  Renaissance.  The  one  is  60  by  80  feet,  and 
the  other  67  by  45,  with  a  wing  23  by  49  feet.  The  Laboratory  is 
amply  equipped  with  physical  apparatus,  including  several  valu- 
able pieces  for  work  of  research  in  heat,  radiation,  and  in  electricity 
and  magnetism.  A  shop  and  tool-room,  fitted  with  all  the  latest 
devices,  is  located  in  the  basement,  east  side,  while  the  west  side 
is  occupied  by  an  air  liquefier  and  other  research  apparatus.  On 
the  first  floor  are  the  practical  laboratories;  on  the  second,  the 
lecture  and  class  rooms;  and  on  the  third,  nine  rooms  for  special 
research.  The  cabinet  for  lecture  and  illustration  is  particularly 
well  furnished.  In  the  museum  is  a  large  collection  of  original 
material  and  relics  bearing  upon  the  early  history  of  the  telephone 
and  other  scientific  instruments. 

THE  ZOOLOGICAL  LABORATORY  is  located  along  the  south 
side  of  Hamilton  Walk,  Thirty-ninth  Street  entrance.  The  build- 
ing was  erected  in  1910,  and  was  occupied  in  the  fall  of  191 1.  It 
was  designed  by  Cope  and  Stewardson.  The  total  cost  of  build- 
ing and  equipment  was  about  $300,000.  It  is  constructed  of  hard 
burnt  brick  and  Indiana  limestone;  is  fireproof  throughout  and 
is  T-shaped  with  the  longer  arm  of  204  feet  extending  east  and 
west  along  Hamilton  Walk,  and  a  shorter  south  wing  extending 
back  from  the  rear  and  connected  by  an  animal  breeding  house 
with  the  Vivarium.  The  architecture  is  of  the  English  Collegiate 
style  of  the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  century,  and  is  in  harmony 
with  the  Medical  Building  to  the  east  of  it.  The  Laboratory  was 
built  so  as  to  give  a  large  amount  of  north  light  necessary  for  micro- 
scopic work,  as  well  as  a  minimum  of  hall  space.  An  auditorium 
is  on  the  southwest  at  the  junction  of  the  two  wings,  with  a  student 
entrance  from  each  hall.  It  will  accommodate  more  than  three 
hundred  students. 

The  building  is  three  stories  high  over  a  basement.  The  library 
consists  of  a  large  room  at  the  west  end  of  the  first  floor. 

The  laboratory  rooms  were  designed  on  the  modern  unit  system, 
the  rooms  being  twenty  feet  deep,  so  as  to  provide  sufficient  light, 
and  each  room  measuring  twenty  feet  by  eleven  and  a  half,  with 
one  large  window.  The  teaching  laboratories  comprise  either 
two  of  these  units  or  three  of  them,  with  windows.  No  laboratories 
are  larger  than  three  units,  each  three-unit  laboratory  accommo- 
dating twenty-four  students,  which  is  the  maximum  one  instructor 
can  direct  at  one  time. 

On  the  first  floor  are  four  laboratories  for  the  course  in  General 
Zoology;  synoptical  museum;  a  laboratory  for  Economic  Ento- 
mology, with  rooms  for  insect  collections  and  insect  breeding. 

On  the  second  floor  are  two  laboratories  for  Vertebrate  Anatomy, 
next  to  a  Vertebrate  Museum,  and  a  laboratory  for  advanced  courses 


96 

in  the  subject.      There  are  also  two  laboratories  for    Histology 
adjacent  to  reagent  and  microtome  rooms. 

On  the  third  floor  is  a  suite  of  laboratories  for  general  and  advanced 
courses  in  Physiology,  with  convenient  breeding  rooms  and  a  large 
space  for  photography  and  work  with  ultra-violet  rays.  Consider- 
able space  is  devoted  to  culture  and  breeding  purposes  on  each 
floor;  there  are  two  special  museums,  one  used  as  a  teaching  collec- 
tion and  the  other  as  a  storage  collection. 


BIOLOGICAL   HALL. 


In  the  basement  are  constant  temperature  and  cold  storage 
rooms,  machine  shop,  ventilating  plant,  and  a  coat  room  for 
students.  Twenty  private  rooms  are  at  the  disposal  of  special 
investigators.  It  is  considered  the  best  working  laboratory  in  the 
country  for  its  subject.  The  building  contains  many  famous  col- 
lections, among  them  the  Pennock-Wheatly  collection  of  slides, 
the  Leidy  collection  of  parasites,  the  Hyrtl-Cope  osteological  col- 
lection, and  a  zoological  library  of  more  than  five  thousand  volumes, 


including  the  Leidy-Ryder-Cope  collection.  In  four  medallions 
on  the  sides  and  front  of  the  building  have  been  cut  the  following 
words:   Unity,  Truth,  Wisdom,  Humanity. 

On  panels  on  the  front  elevation,  under  the  copings  appear  the 
following  names: 

COPE  —  LEIDY 
Lamarck  Darwin  Huxley 

Reaumur  Bernard  J.  Mueller 

Harvey  Aristotle  Malpighi 

Schwann  Von  Baer  Agassiz

A  seal  of  the  University  adorns  the  medallion  over  the  main 
entrance. 

OIL  PORTRAITS  IN  THE  ZOOLOGICAL  BUILDING 

EDWARD  DRINKER  COPE,  Ph.D.  (Clarence  Worrall),  Professor  of  Geology 
and  Paleontology,  1889-1897.     Presented  by  friends. 

JOSEPH  LEIDY,  LL.D.,  1823-1891  (A.  P.  S.  Haeseler),  Professor  of  Anatomy, 
1853-1891;  Professor  of  Zoology  and  Comparative  Anatomy,  1884-1891.  Pre- 
sented by  his  friends  in  1912. 

BOTANICAL  HALL  faces  Hamilton  Walk,  behind  the  Uni- 
versity Dormitories.  The  building,  which  is  rather  plain  and  which 
has  little  merit  from  an  architectural  viewpoint,  is  beautifully 
overgrown  with  ivy.  It  was  erected  in  1884,  and  consists  of  three 
floors  and  a  basement.  It  has  a  frontage  of  80  feet  and  a  depth 
of  45  feet.  It  contains  classrooms,  herbarium  room  with  more 
than  60,000  sheets  of  plants,  the  Botanical  Library  with  about 
3,000  volumes  and  the  Bartram  Memorial  Library. 

THE  BOTANIC  GARDENS  were  established  in  1894.  There 
are  eleven  greenhouses  containing  2,000  species  and  varieties  of 
plants,  also  a  physiological  plant  laboratory.  The  gardens  cover 
four  acres,  and  contain  about  1,600  species  of  plants. 

The  beautiful  lily  and  lotus  ponds  and  the  winding  paths  are 
among  the  most  attractive  features  of  the  Campus.  The  gardens 
give  splendid  facilities  for  staging  open-air  plays,  one  or  two  of 
which  are  given  every  year. 

The  gardens  and  buildings  are  open  to  visitors  from  sunrise  to 
sunset. 

THE  VIVARIUM  was  established  in  1898  and  is  located  along 
Hamilton  Walk,  and  connects  the  Zoological  Building  with  Botanical 
Hall.  It  has  fresh  and  salt  water  aquaria  containing  a  great  variety 
of  marine  and  fresh  water  animals;  houses  for  animals,  and  experi- 
mental rooms.  This  was  the  first  vivarium  ever  connected  with 
any  educational  institution. 


98 

HAMILTON  WALK  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  stretches  on 
the  University  Campus,  occupying  the  former  site  of  Pine  Street, 
from  Thirty-fourth  to  Thirty-eighth  Streets;  along  the  north  side 
are  the  Dormitories  and  the  "Old  Athletic  Field;"  on  the  south 
the  Zoological  Laboratory,  the  Medical  Laboratories,  Botanical 
Hall,  the  Vivarium  and  the  Botanic  Gardens;  at  the  Thirty-eighth 
Street  entrance  is  the  Class  of  1873  Memorial  Gate.

On  a  sago  palm  in  one  of  the  greenhouses  of  the  Botanical 
Department  is  a  brass  tablet  inscribed: 

I  was  born  about  one  hundred  and  fifty  years  ago  in  "The 
Land  of  the  Rising  Sun,"  where  they  named  me  SAGOBEI 
SHURO,  but  here  I  am  known  as  SAGO  PALM,  while  botanists 
call   me  CYCAS   REVOLUTA. 

I  lived  in  peace  among  my  fellows  till  about  five  years  ago, 
when  some  of  the  skilled  gardeners  of  my  native  land  severed 
my  roots,  removed  my  leafy  crown  and  packed  me  up  like  a 
mummy;  then  they  sent  me  across  the  wide  waters  to  an  enter- 
prising firm  named  Dreer,  in  this  great  "Land  of  the  Setting  Sun." 
Here  I  lived  till  a  botanist  from  the  shrines  of  learning  in  this 
city  of  Brotherly  Love  revered  my  age,  genealogy  &  stature,  and 
so  desired  to  have  me. 

By  the  generosity  of  Mrs.  James  McManes  I  was  secured  for 
my  present  abode,  where  by  kind  treatment  I  have  regained  my 
old  dignity  and  leafy  crown.  Though  far  from  my  native  home, 
I  can  survey  the  wonders  of  this  great  institution  &  exclaim:  "I 
am  the  oldest  living  being  in  the  University."  Nay,  more,  when 
those  who  now  serve  it  are  gathered  to  their  sires,  I  hope  still 
to   be   green   and   flourishing.

THE  FLOWER  ASTRONOMICAL  OBSERVATORY  is  situated 
on  the  "Flower  Farm,"  on  the  West  Chester  Pike,  two  miles  from 
Sixty-third  and  Market  Streets.  The  Observatory  buildings  were 
designed  by  Edgar  V.  Seeler,  and  constructed  in  1895;  they  are 
three  in  number;  the  equatorial  building  of  brick;  the  meridian 
building  of  wood;  and  the  residence  of  the  director  and  the  Astor- 
nomical  Library.  Among  the  principal  instruments  are  an  Equa- 
torial Telescope  of  eighteen  inches  aperture,  Meridian  Circle,  Transit 
Instrument  Reflex  Zenith,  Tube  Chronometers,  Chronograph,  etc. 
The  cost  of  the  building  and  equipment  was  over  $50,000.  The 
fund  for  building  and  maintenance  was  provided  by  the  late  Reese 
Wall  Flower,  of  Philadelphia.

THE  TOWNE  SCIENTIFIC  SCHOOL  was  founded  by  John 
Henry  Towne,  a  Trustee  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  from 
1873  to  1875,  who  in  1875  by  his  will  bequeathed  a  large  sum  of 
money  for  the  purpose  of  endowing  the  Department  of  Science 
of  the  College.  The  Board  of  Trustees,  in  recognition  of  Mr.  Towne's 
generosity,  named  the  Scientific  Department  of  the  College  the 
"Towne  Scientific  School."  The  scientific  courses,  however,  had 
been  given  in  the  College  since  1852,  when  the  first  professorship 


SCENE    IN    BOTANIC    GARDEN. 


in  Civil  and  Mining  Engineering  was  established  in  a  department 
of  the  College  known  as  the  "Department  of  Mines,  Arts  and 
Manufactures."  Still  later  it  was  known  as  the  "College  of  Agri- 
culture, Mines,  Arts  and  Mechanic  Arts."  In  1872,  five  separate 
courses  were  announced  in  the  Department  of  Science,  viz. :  Chem- 
istry, Metallurgy,  Geology,  Mining,  Civil  and  Mechanical  Engineer- 
ing. After  the  Department  of  Science  became  the  Towne  Scientific 
School  in  1875  the  scope  was  broadened  very  materially.  A  course 
in  Drawing  and  Architecture  and  a  general  course  in  Science  were 
added.  In  1891  the  regular  four-year  courses  in  Civil,  Mechanical 
and  Electrical  Engineering,  Chemistry  and  Architecture  were 
established,   and   in  the   following  year    the  course  in  Chemical 


idi 


Engineering  was  added.  These  courses  were  still  given  in  the  Towne 
Scientific  School,  as  a  part  of  the  College,  until  1912,  when  the 
School  was  made  independent  with  its  own  faculty  and  dean.  In 
1906  the  Civil,  Electrical  and  Mechanical  Engineering  Depart- 
ments moved  into  the  new  Engineering  Building,  while  the  Archi- 
tectural Department  remained  in  the  College  Hall  and  the  Chemical 
Engineering  Department  in  the  Harrison  Laboratory. 


THE    FLOWER    ASTRONOMICAL    OBSERVATORY. 


Since  1891  the  growth  of  the  School  has  been  quite  remarkable, 
the  attendance  having  increased  from  313  to  914,  with  a  teaching 
staff  of   165. 

To  meet  the  needs  of  such  students  as  may  desire  a  general 
college  education  before  taking  up  scientific  work,  the  courses  are 
so  arranged  as  to  enable  students  to  take  the  first  two  years  of 
academic  work  and  combine  the  last  two  with  the  first  two  years 
in  the  Towne  Scientific  School,  get  their  degrees  and  complete 
their  courses  in  the  latter  in  two  additional  years,  thus  completing 
the  combined  courses  in  six  years.

The  offices  of  the  Dean,  and  the  Civil,  Electrical  and  Mechanical 
Engineering  Departments  are  housed  in  the  Engineering  Building. 
Other  buildings  partly  used  by  the  Towne  Scientific  School  for 
various  courses  are  the  Harrison  Laboratory  of  Chemistry,  the 
Randal  Morgan  Laboratory  of  Physics,  College  Hall,  and  the 
Library. 

THE  ENGINEERING  BUILDING  is  located  at  Thirty-third 
and  Locust  Streets  and  houses  the  Civil,  Electrical  and  Mechanical 
Engineering  Departments.  It  faces  south  and  is  parallel  with 
Dental  Hall;  ground  was  broken  August  12,  1903,  and  the  building 
dedicated  October  19,  1906.  It  has  a  frontage  of  300  feet  and  a 
depth  of  160  feet,  besides  a  large  wing  50  feet  square  extending 
from  the  rear.  Its  cost  is  estimated  at  $750,000.  The  building 
was  designed  by  Cope  and  Stewardson.  While  the  general  archi- 
tectural treatment  is  in  the  English  Georgian  school  and  in  accord 
with  the  keynote  given  by  the  Dormitories  and  later  University 
buildings,  it  is  in  a  quieter  vein.  It  is  fireproof  throughout,  while 
the  equipment  is  of  the  most  modern  and  approved  type.  The 
exterior  is  of  dark  brick  with  limestone  trimmings.  There  are 
three  stories,  with  a  basement  covering  a  third  of  the  entire  area. 
There  is  a  total  floor  area  of  128,000  square  feet.  It  is  the  largest 
on  the  Campus  and  the  best  equipped  building  of  its  kind.  The 
heating  is  by  direct  steam,  the  ventilation  by  electrically  driven 
fans,  and  the  lighting  by  electricity.  There  are  two  principal 
entrances  leading  to  the  main  hallway,  which  extends  east  and  west 
the  entire  length  of  the  building  to  staircases  at  both  extremities. 
Large  light-wells  terminate  in  skylights  over  the  main  floor.  The 
basement  contains  locker-rooms,  lavatories,  machinery  for  heating 
and  ventilating,  storage  battery  rooms,  laboratories  for  geodetic 
and  hydraulic  work,  and  for  the  testing  of  the  materials  of  con- 
struction. On  the  first  floor,  adjacent  to  the  main  entrance,  are 
the  offices  of  the  heads  of  departments.  Accommodation  is  also 
provided  for  physical  and  hydraulic  testing,  instrument  testing 
and  for  special  work  in  mechanical  and  electrical  engineering. 
Rooms  are  likewise  set  aside  for  dynamos  and  electric  motors, 
steam  and  gas  engines,  refrigerating  apparatus,  hydraulic  motors, 
boiler  testing,  pattern  making,  wood  and  iron  working,  foundry 
and  machine  shops,  etc.  On  the  second  floor  is  a  reference  library 
and  reading  room,  a  students'  assembly  room,  rooms  for  use  of 
instructors  and  for  lectures  and  recitations.  The  rear  portion  of 
this  floor  is  devoted  almost  wholly  to  drawing  rooms.  A  room 
for  the  use  of  the  engineering  societies,  a  general  supply  store, 
and  the  library  stack  occupy  the  middle  portion.  In  the  east  and 
west  wings  ample  space  is  assigned  to  the  engineering  museums, 
while  the  rear  of  this  floor  is  set  aside  exclusively  for  additional 
drawing  rooms,  which,  like  those  just  beneath,  have  the  full 
advantage  of  a  north  light.

LIGHT,  HEAT  AND  POWER  PLANT.— The  central  plant  is 
located  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Thirty-fourth  and  Spruce  Streets. 
It  consists  of  two  buildings,  which  were  dedicated  on  May  26, 
1893,  both  constructed  of  dark  red  brick  with  brownstone  trim- 
mings. The  one  is  56  by  200  feet,  with  a  fourteen-foot  driveway 
on  Thirty -fourth  Street,  under  which  are  the  coal  bins;    and  the 


107 

other  is  109  by  49  feet.  The  buildings  were  designed  by  Wilson 
Brothers,  architects.  Both  buildings  are  one  story  high,  and  are 
connected  with  each  other  by  a  thirteen-foot  shed.  The  building 
to  the  west  was  originally  four  stories  high  and  was  used  by  the 
Mechanical  Engineering  Department  from  1893  to  1906,  when  it 
was  partially  destroyed  by  fire. 

These  buildings  contain  ten  boilers  of  about  3,000  horse  power, 
and  five  engines  of  625  horse  power.  The  plant  supplies  light  and 
heat  to  all  University  buildings  except  the  Museum,  Evans  Dental 
Institute,  Phipps  Institute,  Wistar  Institute,  and  the  Gymnasium. 
It  furnishes  light  for  about  37,000  incandescent  Carbon  lamps  of 
16  c.  p.,  or  about  89,000  Tungsten  lamps  of  25  watts  each;  it  heats 
an  air  space  of  21,000,000  cubic  feet,  or  approximately  that  of  500 
large  three-story  dwellings.  During  the  winter  months  the  plant 
consumes  as  much  as  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  tons  of  coal  a 
day,  about  21,000  tons  being  used  annually. 

THE  ARCHITECTURAL  SCHOOL  is  still  a  department  of  the 
Towne  Scientific  School,  but  its  prominence  in  the  profession 
entitles  it  to  elevation  to  the  dignity  of  a  separate  organization. 
Organized  in  1890  with  an  enrollment  of  seven  students,  it  has 
grown  under  its  present  head  into  a  school  of  259  students  and 
a  faculty  of  23  instructors  and  15  special  lecturers,  so  that  it  is 
now  as  a  special  school  second  in  importance  as  well  as  in  numbers 
only  to  the  Ecole  des  Beaux  Arts  of  Paris.  In  no  department  of 
the  University  can  be  found  the  "esprit  de  corps"  of  faculty  and 
students  more  pronounced.  The  influence  of  its  graduates  is  being 
felt  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  and  its  students  and  graduates  in 
the  past  few  years  have  won  more  competitive  prizes,  scholarships, 
traveling  fellowships,  etc.,  than  those  of  all  other  American  schools 
combined. 

All  this  has  been  accomplished  notwithstanding  its  cramped 
quarters  in  College  Hall  and  in  the  wooden  "Studio"  (the  old 
Dining  Hall)  Building.  In  College  Hall  it  occupies  the  entire  third 
floor,  and  the  old  chapel,  on  the  second  floor.  The  library,  drafting 
rooms  and  studio  are  open  to  the  public. 

THE  WHARTON  SCHOOL  OF  FINANCE  AND  COMMERCE 

was  founded  in  1881  by  the  late  Joseph  Wharton,  for  the  purpose 
of  giving  a  college  training  to  young  men  preparing  to  engage  in 
business,  banking,  law,  or  the  public  service.  Like  the  Towne 
Scientific  School,  it  began  as  a  part  of  the  College  and  in  19 12  it 
was  given  recognition  as  a  separate  school  with  a  dean  of  its  own. 
It  was  originally  known  as  the  Wharton  School  of  Finance  and 
Economy,  but  later,  the  word  "Economy"  in  the  title  was  changed 
to  "Commerce." 

_  Mr.  Wharton,  in  endowing  this  school,  returned  to  the  utilitarian 
views  of  education  which  Franklin  advocated  in  his  "Proposals" 


109 

which  led  to  the  founding  of  the  University.  Both  believed  in 
giving  instructions  to  students  in  the  subjects  more  closely  related 
to  their  respective  callings  in  life.  So  successfully  have  the  ideas 
of  the  founder  been  followed,  that  similar  schools  have  since  been 
established  in  many  universities  both  here  and  abroad.  In  1894, 
the  four-year  curriculum  and  a  new  grouping  system  were  established. 
Since  this  time  the  progress  of  the  School  has  been  rapid;  Mr. 
Wharton  increased  his  endowment  by  a  half  million  dollars.  The 
school  now  has  an  enrolment  of  1,803,  and  a  teaching  staff  of  54. 
The  course  of  four  years  leads  to  the  degree  of  B.S.  in  Economics. 
In  1904,  The  Evening  School  of  Finance  and  Accounts  was  added 
to  the  Wharton  School,  and  in  19 13,  similar  extension  schools  were 
opened  in  the  cities  of  Scranton  and  Wilkes-Barre  by  the  Wharton 
School  Faculty.  The  courses  in  all  three  of  these  schools  at  the 
end  of  the  year  lead  to  a  certificate  of  proficiency.  The  work  offered 
is  chiefly  advanced  work  in  financial  and  commercial  subjects. 

LOGAN  HALL,  the  present  home  of  the  Wharton  School  of 
Finance  and  Commerce,  is  located  on  the  east  side  of  Thirty-sixth 
Street  above  Spruce  Street.  The  building  was  designed  by  Thomas 
W.  Richards  and  was  constructed  for  the  Medical  School  in  1874 
and  occupied  by  that  department  and  known  as  Medical  Hall 
until  1904,  when  it  was  turned  over  to  the  Wharton  School  which 
had  long  since  outgrown  its  accommodations  in  College  Hall.  The 
building  has  a  frontage  of  160  feet  along  Thirty-sixth  Street  and 
a  depth  of  89  feet,  and  is  built  of  green  serpentine  stone.  In  1905, 
it  was  named  "Logan  Hall"  in  honor  of  James  Logan,  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  University.  In  Logan  Hall,  in  the  office,  is  a  Chinese 
motto,  presented  to  Mr.  Joseph  Wharton  by  His  Excellency,  the 
Chinese  Minister,  Sir  Chengtung  Lian  Cheng.  Translated,  the 
motto  reads: 

"The  scholar  (or  student)  who  consults  his  ease  is  not  worthy 
to  be  called  a  scholar  (or  student)." 

WHARTON  SCHOOL  BUILDING  (contemplated).  As  the 
School  has  long  since  outgrown  its  quarters  in  Logan  Hall,  it  has 
been  the  hope  of  many  for  years  that  the  future  home  of  the  School 
would  soon  be  in  a  building  to  be  erected  on  a  lot  on  Woodland 
Avenue  opposite  the  Wistar  Institute,  and  running  through  to 
Locust  Street.  It  is  now  used  for  tennis  courts.  The  new  building 
designed  to  be  erected  upon  this  lot  will  have  a  frontage  of  150  feet 
on  Woodland  Avenue,  and  about  250  feet  on  Locust  Street,  its 
depth  being  about  302  feet.  The  new  building  is  to  cost  about 
$250,000.  Cope  and  Stewardson  have  prepared  the  plans;  the 
architecture  will  be  similar  in  general  style  to  that  of  the  other 
recently  erected  buildings.

THE  GRADUATE  SCHOOL  had  its  beginning  in  1882,  when 
some  post-graduate  work  in  science  was  given  in  the  Auxiliary 
Department  of  Medicine,  and  on  November  14,  1882,  the  Trustees 
established  the  Department  of  Philosophy  by  which  title  the 
Graduate  School  was  originally  known.  The  first  faculty  numbered 
fifteen  professors  in  fourteen  subjects.  The  first  of  the  students 
were  enrolled  in  1885.  It  now  offers  advanced  instruction  in 
various  branches  of  literature  and  science  to  students  holding  a 
baccalaureate  degree  in  Arts,  Letters,  Philosophy  or  in  Pure  or 
Applied  Science.  The  faculty  includes  one  hundred  and  seventeen 
professors  and  lecturers,  and  four  hundred  and  seventy  students 
are  enrolled. 

In  1895,  Provost  Harrison  established  a  most  generous  system 
of  fellowships  and  scholarships,  thirty-three  in  number,  by  giving 
the  sum  of  $500,000  to  endow  the  George  Leib  Harrison  Founda- 
tion. Besides  these  there  are  numerous  other  fellowships  and 
scholarships.  The  courses  lead  to  the  degrees  of  Master  of  Arts 
and  Doctor  of  Philosophy.  While  the  administration  offices  are 
located  in  College  Hall,  instruction  is  given  in  the  Library  and 
other  buildings  connected  with  the  College,  Wharton  School  and 
the  Towne  Scientific  School. 

A  GRADUATE  SCHOOL  BUILDING.— Plans  have  been  pre- 
pared for  the  construction  of  the  first  section  of  a  spacious  building 
to  be  devoted  entirely  to  the  needs  of  the  Graduate  School.  The 
building  will  be  similar,  in  style  of  architecture,  to  the  Engineering 
Building.  The  portion  of  the  building  about  to  be  constructed  will 
cost  in  the  neighborhood  of  $300,000  and  will  contain  a  library, 
seminar  room,s,  and  rooms  for  the  social  and  physical  comfort  of 
women  students.  The  additional  wings  to  the  building  are  to  be 
completed  as  they  are  needed.  The  site  selected  for  the  new 
structure  is  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Thirty-fourth  and  Walnut 
Streets,  where  the  buildings  formerly  known  as  "Bennett  Hall" 
now  stand. 

THE  MEDICAL  SCHOOL  was  founded  on  May  3,  1765,  when 
the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Academy  elected  Dr.  John  Morgan, 
a  graduate  of  the  first  college  class,  to  the  Professorship  of  the 
Theory  and  Practice  of  Physics,  he  having  just  returned  from 
Edinburgh,  where  he  had  finished  his  medical  education.  This 
was  the  first  medical  professorship  created  in  North  America.  The 
first  class  was  graduated  three  years  later,  in  1768.  The  school 
has  had  an  uninterrupted  existence  for  almost  150  years,  and  when 
the  founder  delivered  his  opening  lecture,  he  little  dreamed  that 
his  prophecy  would  be  fulfilled  so  soon,  and  so  much  better  than 
he  dared  to  hope  when  he  said,  "Perhaps  this  medical  institution, 
the  first  of  its  kind  in  America,  though  small  in  its  beginning,  may 
receive  a  constant  increase  of  strength,  and  annually  exert  new 
vigor.     It  may  collect  a  number  of  young  persons,  of  more  than 


ordinary  abilities,  and  so  improve  their  knowledge  as  to  spread 
its  reputation  to  distant  parts.  By  sending  these  abroad  duly 
qualified,  or  by  exciting  an  emulation  amongst  men  of  parts  and 
literature,  it  may  give  birtb  to  other  useful  institutions  of  a  similar 
nature,  or  occasional  rise,  by  its  example,  to  numerous  societies 
of  different  kinds,  calculated  to  spread  the  light  of  knowledge  through 
the  whole  American  continent,  wherever  inhabited." 

The  school  has  led  the  medical  profession,  and  its  courses  have 
attracted  students  not  only  "through  the  whole  American  conti- 
nent," but  from  all  parts  of  the  world.  It  has  had  connected  with 
its  faculty,  and  numbers  among  its  graduates,  many  men  who 
have  been  recognized  the  world  over  for  their  scientific  achieve- 
ments and  discoveries.  The  school  has  gone  through  many  vicissi- 
tudes and  so  large  have  been  its  classes  in  the  past  that  it  frequently 
found  itself  cramped  for  space.  This  was  so  even  during  the 
early  days  at  Fourth  and  Arch  Streets,  when  lectures  had  to  be 
given  in  Anatomical  Hall  and  also  in  the  rooms  of  the  American 
Philosophical  Society,  both  located  in  Independence  Square.  When 
the  University,  in  1802,  moved  to  Ninth  and  Chestnut  Streets, 
it  shared  with  the  College  the  old  Presidential  Mansion,  and  upon 
the  demolition  of  this  building  in  1829,  it  received  a  building  of 
its  own  on  the  same  site,  which  it  occupied  until  1874,  when  it 
removed  to  its  new  building  in  West  Philadelphia,  now  known 
as  Logan  Hall.  In  1904,  the  principal  departments  of  the  Medical 
School  moved  into  its  present  quarters  in  the  new  Medical  Labora- 
tories. Its  wonderful  history  and  traditions  cannot  even  be  touched 
upon  in  these  pages.  The  school  has  always  been  a  leader,  and 
within  a  few  years  its  progressive  policy  has  led  the  faculty  to 
raise  the  standards  for  entrance  and  in  course  higher  than  those  of 
any  other  school.  While  this  action  has  greatly  reduced  the  size 
of  the  classes,  the  quality  of  the  work  done  by  the  students  has 
amply  justified  it.  The  school  has  284  registered  in  the  four  classes. 
The  teaching  staff  numbers  171.  The  buildings  connected  with 
the  Medical  School  are  more  numerous  than  those  of  any  other 
department.  Besides  the  main  building,  there  is  the  Wistar  Insti- 
tute of  Anatomy,  the  Robert  Hare  Laboratory  of  Chemistry,  the 
Laboratory  of  Hygiene,  the  Zoological  Building,  Phipps  Institute 
for  the  Study  of  Tuberculosis,  and  the  Hospital  system,  which 
includes  the  Main  Hospital  Building,  the  Agnew  Surgical  Pavilion, 
the  Clinical  Building,  Gibson  Wing  for  Chronic  Diseases,  the 
William  Pepper  Laboratory,  Maternity  Building,  the  new  Surgical 
Building,  Nurses'  Home,  Mortuary,  Chapel,  Laundry  and  Isolation 
Building.  Besides  these,  the  Philadelphia  Hospital,  which  adjoins 
the  University,  is  used  daily  for  clinics  and  ward  instruction. 

THE  LABORATORY  BUILDING  OF  THE  MEDICAL  SCHOOL 

was  dedicated  June  10,  1904.  The  building  faces  the  south  side 
of  Hamilton  Walk,  west  of  Thirty-sixth  Street,  occupying  the  site 


H3 

where  stood  the  old  buildings  of  the  Veterinary  Department  and 
Hospitals.  The  structure  is  fireproof  throughout,  the  exterior 
is  oi  hard  burnt  brick  and  buff  Indiana  limestone,  and  the  interior 
is  finished  in  white  Italian  marble.  The  building  has  a  frontage 
of  337  feet  along  Hamilton  Walk,  and  a  depth  of  192  feet;  it  is 
two  stories  above  a  high  basement,  and  cost  almost  $700,000.  It 
is  quadrangular  in  shape  and  constructed  around  a  courtyard  so 
as  to  give  all  the  large  laboratories  and  research  rooms  a  north 
light.  The  building  is  one  of  the  largest  and  best  equipped  of  its 
kind  in  America.  The  architecture  is  in  the  English  Collegiate 
style  of  the  Middle  Seventeenth  Century,  and  is  in  harmony  with' 
that  of  the  dormitories  and  other  recently  erected  buildings  designed 
by  Cope  and  Stewardson.  The  main  offices  of  the  school  are  on 
the  second  floor  of  the  tower. 

There  are  two  large  amphitheatres  in  the  rear  of  the  building 
with  a  seating  capacity  of  400  each,  and  two  large  demonstration 
rooms,  seating  185  each.  The  Departments  of  Physiology,  Medical 
Research,  and  Pharmacodynamics  occupy  the  first  floor  and  base- 
ment, while  the  second  floor  is  devoted  to  pathology  and  normal 
histology  with  accommodations  for  a  number  of  professors  of  other 
departments,  until  the  completion  of  future  building  operations 
looking  towards  the  transfer  of  several  of  the  departments  to  build- 
ings adjacent  to  this  one.  Among  the  principal  rooms  are  those 
devoted  to  pharmacy,  bandaging,  research,  obstetrics,  physio- 
logical chemistry,  museums  of  anatomy  and  applied  anatomy  in 
the  basement.  On  the  first  floor  are  rooms  equipped  for  aseptic 
operations  on  lower  animals;  small  rooms  for  research  work,  pro- 
fessors and  assistants;  rooms  for  sub-section  teaching,  in  digestion, 
circulation,  respiration,  calorimetry,  nerve,  muscle,  special  senses, 
etc.;  and  photographic  dark  room,  machine  shop,  and  storage 
rooms,  etc.  On  this  floor  are  three  large  laboratories  for  physiology, 
practical  pharmacodynamics  and  medical  research,  respectively; 
a  library,  and  rooms  for  assistants.  The  chief  purpose  of  the  second 
floor  is  for  laboratory  instruction  in  pathology.  Most  of  the  north 
front  of  the  building  is  devoted  to  laboratories  for  advanced  students 
in  experimental  pathology,  office  of  the  Professor  of  Anatomy, 
and  the  special  research  and  assistants'  rooms.  The  east  wing 
accommodates  the  laboratory  of  comparative  pathology  in  tropical 
medicine;  the  west  wing  is  occupied  by  the  pathological  museum, 
the  Gross  morbid  anatomy  demonstration  room,  and  rooms  for 
animal  operations.  The  front  of  the  laboratory  of  pathological 
histology  consists  almost  entirely  of  glass  and  is  located  so  as  to 
face  a  spacious  court  to  the  north,  thus  insuring  excellent  and 
uniform  light  and  admirably  adapting  it  for  microscopic  week, 
In  a  similar  section  of  the  building,  east  of  the  central  hall,  with 
similar  front  arrangements  to  insure  light  for  microscopic  work, 
are  located  two  small  laboratories  for  the  teaching  of  surgical 
pathology,  n euro-pathology  and  clinical  pathological  technology: 
the  private  rooms  for  the  instructors  of  these  branches  open  upon 
these  larger  laboratories.

ROBERT  HARE  LABORATORY  OF  CHEMISTRY  is  located 
at  the  northeast  corner  of  Thirty-sixth  and  Spruce  Streets.  It 
was  built  in  1877,  and  was  named  in  honor  of  Dr.  Robert  Hare, 
who  was  Professor  of  Chemistry  in  the  Medical  School  from  1818 
to  1848.     The  material  used  in  its  construction  is  green  serpentine 


stone.  The  building  has  a  frontage  of  148  feet  and  a  depth  of  46 
feet.  The  architect  was  Professor  Thomas  W.  Richards.  The 
first  two  floors  are  occupied  by  the  general  Chemical  Laboratories 
of  the  Department  of  Medicine;  and  the  third  floor  by  the  Labora- 
tory of  Physiological  Chemistry. 

THE  ANATOMICAL  LABORATORY  is  140  feet  in  length  by 
40  feet  in  width.  It  is  lighted  by  windows  on  all  sides,  and  by 
skylights,  and  has  the  most  perfect  ventilation.  The  cadavers 
furnished  the  dissecting-room  are  preserved  by  refrigeration. 

On  the  south  wall  is  a  brass  tablet  inscribed  as  follows: 

In  Memoriam 

CHARLES   THOMAS   HUNTER 

A  distinguished  son 

and  faithful  servant 

of  this  University 

Demonstrator  of  Anatomy 

Died  in  the  service  of  his  University 

Born  January  13,  1843 

Died  April  27,  1884. 

THE  LABORATORY  OF  HYGIENE,  located  at  Thirty-fourth 
and  Locust  Streets,  was  dedicated  February  22,  1892.  A  new  wing 
and  a  detached  animal  house  were  added  in  1899. 

The  main  building  has  a  frontage  on  Thirty-fourth  Street  of  121 
feet,  and  a  depth,  with  the  wing,  of  112  feet.  The  material  is  of 
red  brick  with  brownstone  trimmings  laid  in  red  mortar.  The 
architects  were  Collins  and  Autenreith.  On  the  main  floor  is  a 
lecture  hall  and  amphitheatre  for  classes  in  practical  hygiene,  a 
museum,  a  drafting  room,  etc.;  second  floor,  class-rooms  for  special 
graduate  and  undergraduate  students  in  bacteriology;  bacterio- 
logical laboratory,  director's  rooms,  photographic  room,  and  the 
department  library  of  1,000  volumes.  The  building  is  the  gift  of 
the  late  Henry  C.  Lea;  and  the  equipment  of  the  late  Henry  C. 
Gibson. 

THE  WISTAR  INSTITUTE  OF  ANATOMY  occupies  the  tri- 
angular plot  of  land  owned  by  the  Institute  and  bounded  by 
Woodland  Avenue,  Spruce  Street  and  Thirty-sixth  Street.  The 
institution  was  founded  in  1892  for  exhibition  and  extension  of  the 
Wistar  and  Horner  Museums,  begun  in  1808,  and  for  research 
work  in  anatomy,  and  is  the  first  University  Institute  devoted 
exclusively  to  advance  study  and  research  in  anatomy  and  biology. 
The  main  building  was  dedicated  May  21,  1894,  and  cost  about 
$170,000  (endowment  $1,000,000  additional).  The  material  is 
of  buff  brick  and  light  terra  cotta,  and  the  construction  is  entirely 
fireproof.  The  completed  section  consists  of  a  main  building, 
which  has  a  frontage  on  Thirty-sixth  Street  of  223  feet  and  a  depth 
of  66  feet,  a  wing  in  the  rear  of  the  building  is  46  by  72  feet;  both 
are  four  stories  in  height.     The  Institute  also  occupies  the  two 


121 

large  brick  buildings  in  the  rear.  The  architects  of  the  main  build- 
ing were  George  W.  and  W.  D.  Hewitt.  The  building  and  endow- 
ment are  the  gifts  of  General  Isaac  J.  Wistar,  a  descendant  of  Dr. 
Caspar  Wistar,  Professor  of  Anatomy  at  the  University  from  1808 
to  1 818.  The  original  museum  was  founded  in  1808  by  Caspar 
Wistar  and  used  for  teaching  the  students.  There  is  now  no 
undergraduate  instruction,  the  laboratories  and  facilities  being 
open  only  to  investigators  of  known  ability  and  scientific  reputa- 
tion.     Well  equipped  laboratories  and  a  biological  library  adjoin 


LABORATORY   OF   HYGIENE. 

the  museum.  The  chief  resources  of  the  Institute  are  directed 
to  researches  in  comparative  neurology,  comparative  embryology 
and  biometry. 

In  1905  the  Institute  became  the  clearing  house  for  anatomy 
in  America;  and  in  1906  it  was  appointed  the  Central  United 
States  Institute  for  Brain  Investigation. 

The  Wistar  Institute  publishes  the  five  principal,  independent 
anatomical  journals  of  the  United  States,  namely:  Journal  of 
Morphology,  The  Journal  of  Comparative  Neurology,  The  American 


122 

Journal  of  Anatomy,  The  Anatomical  Record,  and  The  Journal  of 
Experimental  Zoology.  In  these  journals  appears  a  large  portion 
of  the  anatomical  research  work  done  in  this  country.  The  Institute 
also  publishes  a  series  known  as  Memoirs  of  the  Wistar  Institute, 
in  which  appear  such  monographs  as  are  too  extensive  to  be  published 
in  the  journals. 

In  the  Library,  in  cases  specially  built  for  them,  are  General 
Wistar's  private  library  of  4,000  volumes  and  an  interesting 
collection  of  historical  relics.  In  the  large  Library  room  is  also 
a  collection  of  valuable  furniture,  including  a  chiffonier  much 
damaged  by  Pulaski's  cavalry  in  1778.  It  dates  back  to  1683, 
passing  to  Isaac  J.  Wistar  in  the  sixth  generation,  and  by  him 
presented  to  the  Wistar  Institute.  There  are  also  two  settees 
which  belonged  to  Thomas  Mifflin,  1744-1800,  a  graduate  of  the 
College,  and  trustee  1 733-1 791,  and  first  governor  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. There  are  many  other  equally  interesting  objects  in  the 
collection. 

The  Wistar  Museum  is  open  to  the  public  as  well  as  to  students 
daily-,  except  Sundays  and  holidays,  from  9  A.  m.  to  4  p.  m.,  Satur- 
days from  9  a.  m.  to  12  m.

THE  UNIVERSITY  HOSPITAL,  which  was  founded  by  the 
late  Dr.  William  Pepper  in  1874,  now  covers  two  city  blocks  bounded 
by  Thirty-fourth,  Thirty-sixth,  Spruce,  Hamilton  Walk  (Pine 
Street).  It  includes  sixteen  wards,  having  a  capacity  of  four 
hundred  beds.  There  are  also  six  amphitheatres  for  clinical  teach- 
ing, and  surgical  and  medical  dispensaries  for  general  and  special 
diseases.  In  the  group  of  buildings  forming  the  University  Hospital 
there  is  one  central  building  devoted  to  general  hospital  work; 
the  Gibson  Wing  for  Chronic  Diseases,  used  chiefly  for  the  treat- 
ment of  heart  and  lung  diseases;  the  D.  Hayes  Agnew  Memorial 
Pavilion,  which  contains  four  wards  and  three  amphitheatres,  and 


125 

which  is  used  principally  for  clinical  instruction;  the  William 
Pepper  Laboratory  of  Clinical  Medicine;  the  Clinical  Building; 
and  the  Surgical  Building.  The  two  latter  have  recently  been 
completed  and  conform  in  general  style  to  the  architecture  of 
University  Buildings.  When  the  present  plan  for  the  entire 
Hospital  is  completed  all  the  buildings  will  conform  in  style  of 
architecture  to  these  two,  and  will  be  brought  out  to  the  street

line.  To  the  rear  of  the  Agnew  Pavilion  has  been  added  a  wing 
for  the  X-ray  Department,  which  forms  an  important  part  of  the 
Hospital  group,  and  which  will  soon  be  moved  into  the  new  Surgical 
Building.  Spacious  sun-parlors  have  also  been  added  to  the  rear 
of  all  the  principal  Hospital  buildings.  Among  other  buildings 
in  the  Hospital  yard  are  the  Isolation  Building,  the  Maternity 
Hospital,  Obstetrical  Pavilion,  the  Mortuary  and  Chapel,  the 
Laundry  and  the  Dormitories  for  Nurses.     Not  located  upon  the

Campus  are  the  Phipps  Institute  at  Seventh  and  Lombard  Streets, 
for  the  study  and  treatment  of  tuberculosis,  and  the  Southeastern 
Dispensary  at  736  South  Tenth  Street. 

The  medical  staff  of  the  Hospital  consists  of  more  than  one 
hundred  and  fifty  physicians  and  a  hundred  nurses. 

In  the  basements  of  the  various  buildings  are  surgical  and 
medical  dispensaries,  a  drug  store,  dispensaries  for  special  diseases, 
and  a  series  of  halls  devoted  to  baths  of  every  description.

D.   HAYES   AGNEW   SURGICAL   BUILDING. 


THE  MAIN  HOSPITAL  BUILDING  is  constructed  of  serpentine 
(green)  stone  and  was  dedicated  June  4,  1874.  It  is  l7l  DY  l&5 
feet  and  cost  $552,000.  Professor  Thomas  W.  Richards  designed 
the  building,  which  was  the  gift  of  the  State  and  City  and  benevolent 
citizens.  The  money  was  secured  principally  through  the  efforts 
of  the  late  Provost  William  Pepper. 

THE  D.  HAYES  AGNEW  MEMORIAL  PAVILION  was  erected 
in  1897;  it  is  151  by  85  feet;  is  constructed  of  red  brick  and  cost 
$75,000.     The  architects  were  Cope  and  Stewardson.     The  build- 


127 

ing  was  named  in  honor  of  the  great  American  surgeon  who  had 
such  a  long  and  important  career  at  the  University.  The  building 
contains  four  wards  and  three  amphitheatres  for  clinical  instruc- 
tion. Its  architectural  treatment  was  inspired  by  the  brick  and 
terra  cotta  architecture  of  Northern  Italy. 

THE  WILLIAM  PEPPER  LABORATORY  OF  CLINICAL 
MEDICINE  was  erected  in  1894;  it  is  45  by  45  feet;  is  constructed 
of  red  brick  and  cost  $50,000.  The  architects  were  Cope  and 
Stewardson.  It  was  erected  through  the  generosity  of  the  late 
Provost  William  Pepper  as  a  memorial  to  his  father.  The  laboratory 
is  entirely  for  graduate  work,  for  the  purpose  of  providing  facilities 
for  the  prosecution  of  minute  studies  and  original  researches.  The 
laboratory  annually  publishes  the  results  of  its  investigations.

Provost  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania. 

THE  GIBSON  WING  FOR  CHRONIC  DISEASES  was  erected 
in  1883;  it  is  45  by  183  feet;  is  built  of  red  brick  and  cost  $85,000. 
The  architects  were  Wilson  Brothers.  It  was  named  in  honor  of 
the  late  Henry  C.  Gibson,  as  an  acknowledgment  of  his  numerous 
benefactions  to  the  University.  The  pavilion  was  originally  erected 
for  the  treatment  of  heart  and  lung  diseases.  It  now  contains  the 
Children's  Medical  Ward  of  twenty  beds;  the  Ward  for  Chronic 
Surgical  Cases  of  twenty  beds,  and  a  number  of  private  rooms. 

THE  MATERNITY  PAVILION  is  located  in  the  rear  of  the 
Pepper  Laboratory;  it  was  erected  in  190 1;  it  is  107  by  80  feet, 
and  is  built  of  red  brick.  The  architects  were  Cope  and  Steward- 
son.  It  contains  the  Anna  Dike  Scott  Memorial  Amphitheatre 
with  a  seating  capacity  of  200  and  will  accommodate  50  patients. 
In  the  basement  is  a  system  by  which  all  heated  air  supplied  to  the 
nurseries  and  wards  is  purified  and  filtered. 

In  1906  a  new  wing,  38  by  41  feet,  was  added  to  the  Maternity, 
the  gift  of  Mrs.  Benjamin  F.  Clyde.  It  was  designed  by  Brockie 
and  Hastings,  and  conforms  to  the  original  building,  which  is  a  simple 


128 


form  of  Italian  brick  work  of  the  Renaissance  period.  In  the  sun 
parlor  on  the  second  floor  is  a  memorial  window,  inscribed:  "To 
the  Glory  of  God. — Dedicated  October  IX,  1906." 

THE  MORTUARY  AND  CHAPEL,  small  buildings  in  the  rear 
of  the  Main  Pavilion,  erected  in  1890  at  a  cost  of  $11,000. 

THE  MEDICAL  CLINICAL  LABORATORY  BUILDING  occu- 
pies the  site  directly  in  front  of  the  Gibson  Wing  for  Chronic 
Diseases.  It  was  dedicated  on  April  15,  1909.  It  was  the  first 
of  the  new  wings  to  the  Hospital.      All  the  other  wings  will  be 


UNIVERSITY   HOSPITAL    ROW   ALONG    SPRUCE    STREET. 


brought  out  to  the  street  front  to  correspond  with  this  one,  which 
conforms  in  architecture  with  the  other  late  buildings  of  the 
University.  It  was  designed  by  Cope  and  Stewardson.  In  this 
building  are  the  laboratories  of  Clinical  Pathology  for  the  use  of 
the  hospital  staff  and  for  students  in  medicine. 

It  accommodates  the  medical  dispensaries,  medical  amphitheatre 
and  clinical  conference  room,  and  on  the  top  floor  two  large  labora- 
tories for  the  teaching  of  clinical  pathology  and  for  the  routine 
laboratory  investigation  of  the  hospital  cases.  The  larger  room 
is  equipped  with  desks  for  fourth-year  men,   each   of  whom   is 


129 

assigned  a  separate  desk  and  supplied  with  an  outfit  for  making 
examinations.  One  room  is  devoted  to  instruction  to  third-year 
men  in  Clinical  Laboratory  methods.  The  building  also  has  special 
quarters  for  the  staff  of  the  Laboratory. 


THE  CLINICAL   BUILDING. 


While  giving  suitable  attention  to  the  scientific  branches,  the 
claim  for  distinction  of  Pennsylvania's  Medical  School  has  always 
rested  upon  its  clinical  facilities.  Students  are  prepared  both  for 
the  practice  of  medicine  for  purely  scientific  careers,  but  the  practical 


130 

has  taken  precedence  over  the  merely  theoretical.  Besides  the 
general  clinics  in  all  branches  there  are  clinical  conferences  and 
ward  classes,  the  former  being  clinics  on  a  small  scale  with  active 
participation  of  the  students,  the  latter  being  bedside  classes  in 
which  an  instructor  demonstrates  cases  to  small  groups  of  from 
five  to  ten  students.  The  fourth-year  men  aie  assigned  to  duty 
in  the  University  Hospital  wards,  assisting  the  Resident  Physicians 
in  the  daily  study  of  the  cases,  under  the  direct  supervision  of  the 
visiting  chiefs  and  their  assistants,  whom  the  students  accompany 
in  the  daily  rounds. 

THE  SURGICAL  BUILDING  is  located  at  the  southwest  corner 
of  Thirty-fourth  and  Spruce  Streets,  on  the  former  site  of  the  main 
building  of  the  Nurses'  Home  which  was  removed  to  Hamilton 
Walk.  The  building  was  erected  in  19 14  in  accordance  with  a 
plan  for  rebuilding  the  entire  Hospital  group.  The  other  modern 
Building  or  wing,  which  conforms  to  the  new  plans,  is  the  Clinical 
building.  The  plans  provide  for  the  walls  of  all  the  buildings  and 
wings  being  brought  out  to  the  Spruce  Street  building  line. 

The  Surgical  Building  was  designed  by  Brockie  and  Hastings.  It 
has  five  floors  and  a  pipe  attic  and  roof  garden.  The  frontage  on 
Spruce  Street  is  92$  feet  and  94^  feet  along  Thirty-fourth  Street. 
Later  it  is  proposed  to  add  four,  and  possibly  five,  stories  to  this 
building.  It  is  in  the  Jacobean  style,  and  constructed  of  ,t>rick 
and  limestone,  to  conform  to  the  general  type  of  the  later  buildings 
erected  on  the  University  campus. 

In  the  basement  of  the  new  building  will  be  the  workshops  for 
the  Orthopedic  Department, ,  elevator  machinery  and  mechanical 
equipment  for  ventilating,  heating  and  lighting.  On  the  ground 
floor  will  be  the  X-ray  Department,  which  will  vacate  its  present 
quarters  in  the  Agnew  Wing.  This  floor  will  also  contain  a  gym- 
nasium for  the  Orthopedic  Department,  which  will  be  in  direct: 
communication  with  the  orthopedic  dispensary,  wards,  etc.,  in 
the  present  adjoining  Agnew  Pavilion.  The  first,  second,  and 
third  floors  will  be  devoted  to  surgical  wards,  and  will  have  a  capacity 
of  seventy-five  beds,  including  sun  parlor,  isolation  rooms,  lockers, 
surgical  dressing  rooms,  preparation  rooms  for  operations,  -  ward 
utility  rooms,  diet  kitchens  and  supply  rooms. 

On  the  fourth  and  fifth  floors  will  be  three  operating  clinic  rooms, 
each  seating  from  twenty-five  to  thirty-five  students,  and  having 
etherizing  rooms  communicating  with  each.  These  clinic  rooms 
extend  through  the  two  stories,  are  on  the  north  side  of  the  building 
with  large  north  skylights. 

Besides  the  clinic  rooms  on  the  fourth  floor  are  the  sterilizing 
room,  instrument  and  bandage  rooms,  splint  room,  nurses'  work 
room,  doctors'  dressing  and  toilet  rooms,  recovery  and  waiting 
rooms  and  nurses'  toilet,  with  large  distributing  corridors. 


I3i 

On  the  fifth  floor  the  space  not  occupied  by  the  upper  part  of  the 
clinic  rooms  and  distribution  corridor  will  contain  a  laboratory

the  clinic  floor  below,  and  in  the  south  part  of  the  floor  six  recovery

and  isolation" rooms  and  diet  kitchen.  Over  the  fifth  floor  is  a  pipe 
loft,  which  will  contain  ventilating  ducts,  heating  pipes,  mechanical 
equipment,  etc. 

A  considerable  portion  of  the  roof  will  be  uncovered  and  used 
as  a  roof  garden. 

BUILDING  FOR  CONTAGIOUS  DISEASES.— No  cases  of 
contagious  diseases  are  taken  into  the  University  Hospital,  this 
building  having  been  constructed  for  the  purpose  of  isolating  the 
few  cases  of  contagious  diseases  which  develop  among  the  patients 


ISOLATION    BUILDING   OF    THE    HOSPITAL. 


in  the  general  hospital.  The  building  was  designed  by  Brockie 
and  Hastings,  and  is  located  in  the  rear  part  of  the  Hospital  yard, 
along  the  north  side  of  Hamilton  Walk,  near  Thirty-sixth  Street. 
The  architecture  is  Renaissance,  and  in  keeping  with  the  other 
University  Hospital  buildings.  The  building  is  60  by  34,  two 
stories  above  a  high  basement,  and  cost  about  $25,000.  It  is 
absolutely  sanitary,  the  outer  walls  being  double,  with  a  wide 
space  between  the  two,  which  avoids  all  dampness.  The  floors 
are  of  reinforced  concrete,  with  a  finished  flooring  of  a  patent 
material,  without  joints.     This  material  is  turned  up  around  all 


133 

walls  and  forms  a  baseboard  and  floor  throughout  the  entire 
building,  without  a  joint  or  crevice.  There  is  a  complete  system 
of  heating  and  forced  ventilation. 

There  are  two  stories  and  a  basement.  In  the  latter  are  con- 
tained all  of  the  heating  and  mechanical  equipment,  pipes,  etc. 
On  the  first  floor  there  is  an  open  porch  running  through  the  build- 
ing from  one  side  to  the  other.  From  this  porch  the  stairway  con- 
nects the  two  floors;    also  opening  from  this  porch  is  a  general

PARLORS.      THERE    IS    A   SUN    PARLOR    IN    EVERY   WARD. 


storeroom  for  linen,  bedding,  stretcher  supplies,  etc.  These  four 
rooms,  two  on  each  floor,  are  placed  at  the  sides  of  the  stairway 
and  entirely  cut  off  from  the  other  part  of  the  building,  the  open 
porch  coming  between  the  two  portions. 

On  the  west  side  of  the  porch  are  the  rooms  for  the  patients. 
All  rooms  open  into  a  main  corridor.  The  food  is  delivered  from 
the  open  porch  on  the  first  floor  through  a  special  window  into 
the  first  story  diet  kitchen,  and  by  means  of  a  dumb-waiter  to  the 
second  story  diet  kitchen. 


134 

THE  LAUNDRY  BUILDING.— The  laundry  building  is  72  by 
34  feet,  and  cost  about  $16,000.  It  was  designed  by  Brockie  and 
Hastings.  On  the  first  floor  is  a  large  disinfecting  plant  for  bedding 
and  linen,  which  is  isolated  from  the  rest  of  the  first  floor,  in  which 
all  the  washing  is  done,  as  well  as  the  finishing  of  large  pieces. 

The  second  floor  is  equipped  with  large  drying  rooms,  ironing 
machines,  and  tables  for  hand  work.  This  floor  also  contains 
the  office  of  the  head  laundress,  and  a  large  room  with  shelves 
and  divisions,  into  which  the  work  of  each  nurse,  resident,  or 
private  patient,  is  put.  The  plant  is  operated  by  electricity,  and 
is  now  the  most  complete  laundry  for  hospital  work  in  the  city. 
The  lighting,  heating,  and  ventilating  apparatus  is  also  operated 
by  electricity. 

THE  HOME  FOR  NURSES  is  located  on  Thirty-fourth  Street 
below  Spruce  Street.  It  was  designed  by  Amos  J.  Boyden  and 
erected  in  i8#6.  This  building  was  erected  in  memory  of  Mrs. 
Richard  D.,Wood  by  her  children.  Including  the  students  in  the 
training  school,,  there  are  at  present  about  one  hundred  nurses 
connected  with  the  hospital. 

THE  X-RAY  LABORATORY  has  been  erected  in  the  rear  of 
the  Agnew  Pavilion.  It  is  one  of  the  most  important  parts  of  the 
University  Hospital  System;  and  with  other  improvements, 
involved  an  expendituie  of  sixty  thousand  dollars,  $25,000  of  which 
was  appropriated  by  the  State  towards  the  laboratory.  The 
laboratory  will  shortly  move  into  more  spacious  quarters  provided 
for  it  in  the  new  Surgical  Building. 

THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  PHYSICAL  THERAPY.— Realizing 
the  value  of  Physical  Therapy  when  scientifically  practiced,  the 
University  has  installed  a  well-equipped  laboratory  in  the  Hospital. 
The  facilities  of  the  department  are  such  that  patients  as  well  as 
the  public  may  receive  as  effective  treatment  here  as  they  would 
be  able  to  secure  in  any  of  the  great  Spas  of  Europe.  Special 
efforts  have  been  made  to  secure  good  light,  ventilation,  heat  and 
drainage  for  every  part  of  the  baths,  so  as  to  make  it  attractive 
and  cheerful  as  well  as  efficient. 

The  laboratory  is  divided  into  three  sections — one  for  hydro- 
therapy, another  for  thermo-  and  electrotherapy,  and  a  third  for 
balneotherapy — all  being  fully  provided  with  dressing  and  reclining

THE  SOUTHEASTERN  DISPENSARY  was  founded  "in  1891 
for  the  purpose  of  giving  medical  instruction  to  students  in  obstetrics. 
Each  fourth-year  student  is  required  to  spend  at  least  a  week  at 
the  Dispensary,  where  he  gets  an  average  of  seven  or  eight  cases. 
The  building,  which  is  located  at  736  South  Tenth  Street,  is  well 
equipped.  Three  students  and  two  trained  nurses  are  in  attend- 
ance at  all*  times,.  The  Dispensary  furnishes  medical  attendance 
to  an  average  of'  fifteen  hundred  families  a  year.  A  special  free 
dispensary  is  also  conducted  in  the  building. 

THE  HENRY  PHIPPS  INSTITUTE  FOR  THE  STUDY,  PRE- 
VENTION AND  TREATMENT  OF  TUBERCULOSIS  was  founded 
in  1903,  turned  over  to  the  University  in  February,  19 10,  and 
formally  dedicated  in  May,  19 13,  Mr.  Henry  Phipps,  the  founder, 
having  first  decided  to  erect  the  present  building  at  the  northeast 


H5 

corner  of  Seventh  and  Lombard  Streets.  The  site  is  in  the  midst 
of  one  of  the  congested  districts  of  Philadelphia  and  is  surrounded 
by  a  large  tenement  house  population.  This  location^  was  chosen 
as  being  in  a  section  of  the  city  in  which  tuberculosis  was  most 
prevalent,  and  was  made  possible  by  a  special  law  permitting  the 
establishment  of  the  Hospital  within  the  city  limits.  The  oiiginal 
site  was  at  Third  and  Lombard  Streets.  The  building  faces  Starr 
Garden  Park,  a  civic  center  of  the  Play  Grounds  Commission. 
The  open  square  affords  a  greater  abundance  of  sunlight  and  air 
than  would  ordinarily  be  the  case  in  a  closely  built  up  city.  The 
building  was  designed  by   Grosvenor  Atterbury,   of   New  York. 

The  general  style  of  architecture  is  modified  Cclonial.  While 
the  entrance  is  on  the  west  side  the  principal  facade  is  towards 
the  south.  It  is  built  of  brick  trimmed  with  white  marble,  and 
except  for  wooden  doors  is  of  fire-proof  construction.  The  ground 
plan  is  somewhat  of  the  form  of  the  letter  H — two  main  wings 
projecting  towards  the  south  and  enclosing  an  areaway  that  is 
planted  with  shrubbery.  The  appearance  of  the  building  from  the 
south  is  unusual,  because  of  the  adoption  of  the  plan  of  having 
each  story  above  the  second  set  back  from  the  front  of  the  building 
sufficiently  to  afford  adequate  porch  and  deck  room.  By  this 
means  light  is  not  cut  off  by  porches  from  the  story  below.  _  This 
arrangement  also  makes  possible  the  appearance  of  a  series  of 
hanging  gardens,  while  window-boxes  and  plants  are  placed  along 
the  parapets. 

The  east  wing  is  devoted  almost  entirely  to  laboratory  purposes 
and  includes  on  the  basement  floor  an  autopsy  room  and  morgue. 
As  for  the  rest  of  the  building — the  basement  is  occupied  by 
engine  and  boiler  rooms,  store  rooms  and  laundry;  the  first  floor 
by  general  offices,  waiting  rooms,  examining  rooms  for  dispensary 
patients,  drug  room,  etc.;  the  second  floor  by  nurses'  quarters, 
kitchen,  pantry,  store  and  dining  rooms;  the  third  floor  by  wards, 
providing  twelve  beds  for  advanced  cases,  and  surrounded  by  large 
covered  roof  porches  and  open  decks,  nurses'  office,  diet  kitchen, 
dressing  room  and  quiet  room.  In  the  west  wing  of.  the  third  floor 
there  are  sleeping  quarters  for  nurses;  the  fourth  floor  is  devoted 
to  two  large  open-air  wards,  together  containing  twelve  beds  for 
early  cases  with  ample  porch  and  deck  space  adjacent.  On  the 
fourth  floor  are  also  diet  kitchen,  dining  room,  nurses'  office, 
examining  rooms,  etc.;  on  the  fifth  or  top  floor  there  is  a  large 
solarium  and  adjacent  to  it,  open  decks.  There  are  also  a  diet 
kitchen,  dining  room,  and  nurses'  office.  The  Institute  has  demon- 
strated that  patients  can  be  cured  in  the  city  if  they  receive  proper 
food  and  treatment.  Both  of  the  wards  and  the  large  dispensary 
service  of  the  Institute  are  devoted  entirely  to  cases  of  tuberculosis. 
The  Institute  includes  thiee  fields  of  activity,  represented  by  three 
corresponding  departments,  viz.,  laboratory,  clinical  and  the 
sociological,  each  being  under  a  separate  director.

THE  SCHOOL  OF  DENTISTRY  was  organized  in  1878,  at  that 
time  being  the  third  University  Dental  School  in  America.  In  the 
fall  of  1909  the  Pennsylvania  College  of  Dental  Surgery  was 
absorbed  by  the  University,  and  an  arrangement  made  whereby 
all  of  its  students  were  transferred  to  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania. The  history  of  the  Pennsylvania  College  of  Dental  Surgery 
begins  with  the  establishment  in  1852  of  the  Philadelphia  College 
of  Dental  Surgery,  from  which  the  Pennsylvania  College  separated 
in  the  spring  of  1856,  secuiing  from  the  State  Legislature  a  separate 
charter. 


OLD   DENTAL   HALL. 

The  Dental  School  is  the  most  cosmopolitan  of  the  departments 
of  the  University,  its  students  usually  lepresenting  about^  twenty- 
five  foreign  countries  and  almost  every  state  of  the  Union.  In 
19 14  it  had  a  teaching  staff  of  sixty-two  and  five  hundred  and 
eighty-eight  students.  The  school  operates  a  free  dispensary, 
in  which  about  40,000  cases  are  treated  annually. 

When  the  school  was  first  organized,  it  occupied  quarters  in 
the  Hare  Laboratory  of  Chemistry  at  Thirty-sixth  and  Spruce 
Streets,  but  in  1896  it  removed  to  a  new  building  especially  con- 


147 

structed  for  it.  Here  its  growth  has  been  remarkable  and  it  has 
long  since  outgrown  its  "new"  quarteis.  In  the  fall  of  1914  it 
will  enter  into  its  third  home,  The  Evans  Dental  Institute  and 
School  of  Dentistry  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  at  Fortieth 
and  Spruce  Streets,  the  largest  and  best  equipped  plant  in  the 
world  devoted  entirely  to  the  teaching  of  dentistry. 

DENTAL  HALL,  at  Thirty-third  and  Locust  Streets,  which  will 
be  vacated  by  the  school  in  the  fall  of  19 14,  was  erected  in  1896. 
Its  front  faces  the  Engineering  Building.  It  was  designed  by 
Edgar  M.  Seeler,  and  is  constructed  of  red  brick  and  terra  cotta; 
its  cost  was  about  $150,000.  The  main  building  is  50  by  180  feet 
with  a  wing  50  by  90  feet.  The  entire  second  floor  of  the  main 
building  constitutes  a  clinical  operating  room,  which  has  been 
considered  the  best  equipped  and  best  lighted  dental  laboratory 
in  existence.  Other  laboratories  and  rooms  in  the  building  are 
devoted  to  prosthetic  work,  crown-and-bridge  work,  orthodontia, 
prosthetic  and  operative  technics,  porcelain  and  other  inlays, 
metallurgy,  vulcanizing  and  modeling.  There  are  several  other 
special  rooms  and  an  amphitheater  with  a  seating  capacity  of  550. 
Among  the  exhibits  of  interest  in  the  Dental  Museum  are  the 
W.  G.  A.  Bonwiil  and  J.  Foster  Flagg  collections;  the  prosthetic 
library,  metallurgical  and  vulcanizing  laboratories,  clinics,  first 
dental  diploma  awarded  in  America,  and  many  other  objects.     . 

A  post-graduate  school  in  dentistry  is  conducted  in  a  building 
of  the  University  located  at  120  South  Thirty-fourth  Street,  which 
it  will  occupy  until  the  completion  of  the  new  Evans  Dental 
Building.

University    of    Pennsylvania,     1906 

THE  THOMAS  W.  EVANS  MUSEUM  AND  DENTAL  INSTI- 
TUTE SCHOOL  OF  DENTISTRY  OF  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF 
PENNSYLVANIA.  By  concurrent  action  of  the  Trustees  of  the 
Thomas  W.  Evans  Museum  and  Institute  Society  and  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania,  an  agreement  between  them  was  executed  on  Satur- 
day, June  15,  1912,  by  the  provisions  of  which  a  co-operative  affilia- 
tion between  the  two  institutions  was  consummated  so  that  the 
resources  of  both  have  been  utilized  in  the  creation  of  a  Dental 
School  to  be  carried  on  "as  such  institutions  of  learning  are  now 
conducted  in  Philadelphia,  and  not  inferior  to  any  already  estab- 
lished," as  provided  for  in  the  will  of  the  late  Dr.  Thomas  W. 
Evans,  an  eminent  scientist  and  dentist  who  practiced  in  Europe, 
but  who  was  born  in  Philadelphia,  and  lived  in  a  house  which  stood 
where  the  building  bearing  his  name  now  stands,  and  which  houses 
the  affiliated  institutions  at  the  northwest  corner  of  Fortieth  and 
Spruce  Streets. 

THE  NEW  DENTAL  BUILDING  is  in  the  style  of  architecture 
which  prevailed  in  the  time  of  Henry  VIII  and  might  be  described 
as  Collegiate  Gothic,  being  in  keeping  with  other  late  buildings 
added  to  the  University  group  in  recent  years,  and  like  them,  is 
constructed  of  Indiana  limestone  and  hard-burnt  red  brick.  It 
was  designed  by  John  T.  Wind  rim,  with  Cope  &  Stewardson  as 
consulting  architects.  The  building  has  a  frontage  on  Spruce  Street 
of  242  feet,  and  a  depth  to  Irving  Street  along  Fortieth  Street  of 
161  feet.  It  is  built  in  the  form  of  the  letter  H  and  has  three  stories 
over  a  high  basement.  The  gift  of  Dr.  Evans,  including  this  build- 
ing and  the  endowment  fund,  is  estimated  at  more  than  a  million 
and  a  half  of  dollars. 


150 

Among  the  interesting  features  of  the  building,  are  the  museum 
proper  and  the  square  tower,  which  is  at  the  main  entrance  at  the 
center  of  the  Spruce  Street  wing.  The  tower  is  38  feet  square, 
rising  to  84  feet.  In  the  center  of  the  tower,  beginning  at  the 
second  story  and  reaching  almost  to  the  top  of  the  third  floor,  is 
a  large  window,  which  lights  the  library  on  the  second  floor. 

The  museum  occupies  the  east  half  of  the  Spruce  Street  wing, 
and  is  as  nearly  fire  and  burglar  proof  as  modern  science  can  make 
it.  This  will  house  the  priceless  Evans  collection.  One  of  the 
entrances  to  the  building  is  at  the  east  end  of  the  Spruce  Street 
wing,  so  that  visitors  may  enter  the  museum  without  disturbing 
other  occupants  of  the  building.  Another  entrance  is  in  the  west 
end  on  the  ground  floor,  and  the  east  court  is  equipped  with  a 
service  entrance. 

In  the  west  end  of  the  Spruce  Street  wing  is  the  office  of  the 
Dean  of  the  Institution,  and  the  board-room.  The  rest  of  the 
ground  floor  is  divided  into  class-rooms  and  laboratories,  the  entire 
north  wing  being  devoted  to  this  purpose.  To  the  right  and  left 
of  the  monumental  hallway,  which  extends  from  the  roof  to  the 
first  floor,  are  rooms  for  various  phases  of  clinical  dental  service, 
radiography,  photography,  instructors'  rooms,  etc.,  and  a  dentist's 
model  office. 

Another  of  the  important  features  of  the  building  is  the  large 
operative  clinic  hall  in  the  north  wing  on  the  second  floor.  This 
occupies  the  entire  wing,  and  is  200  feet  long  by  48  feet  wide.  The 
floor  is  covered  with  battleship  linoleum  and  side  walls  are  of  tile. 

On  the  north  side  is  the  clinic  room  two  stories  high,  30  feet  in 
all,  with  a  glass  wall  which  is  also  turned  over  the  roof  a  distance 
of  about  10  feet,  giving  all  the  daylight  possible.  A  gallery  on  the 
south  side  contains  the  lockers.  The  room  is  furnished  with  135 
chairs,  each  chair  equipped  with  electric  service,  for  power  and  heat. 
There  is  also  gas,  compressed  air,  and  hot  and  cold  water  served  to 
each  chair. 

In  the  south  wing,  on  the  second  floor,  is  the  library,  which 
extends  up  through  the  third  floor,  with  galleries  on  each  side. 
From  the  library,  on  the  east  end,  extends  the  main  lecture  room, 
62  by  41  feet,  and  in  the  west  end  are  two  smaller  lecture  rooms. 
One  of  the  main  objects  of  the  Institute  will  be  the  encouragement 
of  research  work,  and  a  number  of  rooms  for  that  purpose,  together 
with  rooms  for  the  faculty,  are  on  the  second  floor. 

The  main  stairway  in  the  hallway  ends  at  the  second  floor,  and 
a  rotunda  effect  extends  from  there  to  the  roof.  The  side  walls 
of  this  hallway  are  in  pinkish  gray  stone,  and  the  ceiling  is  of  metal 
and  plaster,  formed  and  painted  to  represent  the  high  carved 
wooden  ceilings  of  the  Tudor  period. 

Large  laboratories,  with  lighting  similar  to  that  in  the  clinic, 
occupy  the  south  wing  on  the  third  floor,  and  other  rooms  for 
research  work  and  post-graduate  instruction  in  the  western  end.

In  the  basement  are  locker  rooms  for  the  students,  rooms  for 
mechanical  dentistry,  the  metallurgical  laboratories,  and  labora- 
tories and  lecture  rooms  for  first-year  men.  A  laundry  and  power 
house  adjoins  the  building  on  the  north.  This  contains  two  boilers 
with  a  capacity  of  400  horse-power.  The  engines  and  electric 
generators  are  capable  of  producing  250  kilowatts  and  will  furnish 
power  for  the  lighting  and  heating,  as  well  as  for  the  service  of 
the  chairs  in  the  clinic.

THE  VETERINARY  SCHOOL.— Although  the  Veterinary 
School  of  the  University  did  not  take  definite  shape  until  the  fall 
of  1882,  its  establishment  had  been  suggested  during  the  early  years 
of  the  University.  In  a  lecture  delivered  in  1807  by  Benjamin 
Rush,  he  dwelt  upon  "the  duty  and  advantages  of  studying  the 
diseases  of  domestic  animals  and  the  remedies  proper  to  remove 
them."  In  this  lecture  he  spoke  of  having  seen  the  Medical  Depart- 
ment of  the  University  grow  into  a  flourishing  school,  but  expressed 
himself  as  being  dissatisfied  with  its  prosperity  and  fame  until 
such  time  as  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  would  include  in  its 
curriculum  the  science  of  Veterinary  Medicine  and  Surgery,  pro- 
posing the  establishment  of  a  chair  of  Veterinary  Medicine  in  the 
Medical  School. 

In  1883,  through  the  generosity  of  Joshua  B.  Lippincott  and 
J.  E.  Gillingham,  the  teaching  of  Veterinary  Medicine  was  made 
possible  at  the  University  as  a  separate  school  organized  with  a 
faculty  selected  largely  from  the  Medical  School  and  the  College, 
with  Dr.  Rush  Shippen  Huidekoper  as  Professor  of  Veterinary 
Anatomy  and  Internal  Pathology  and  Dean  of  the  Veterinary 
Faculty,  he  having  just  returned  from  abroad  for  the  purpose  of 
undertaking  the  work  of  founding  such  a  school.  The  course  as 
outlined  by  Dr.  Huidekoper,  who  had  studied  at  various  European 
Veterinary  Schools,  extended  then,  as  now,  over  a  period  of  three 
years.  The  Department  was  opened  on  October  2,  1884,  with 
twenty  students,  in  a  series  of  well-equipped  buildings  located 
along  Hamilton  Walk,  where  the  Medical  Building  now  stands. 
In  1 90 1  the  School  and  Hospital  moved  into  temporary  quarters 
on  the  present  site.     In  1903  the  plot  of  ground  on  Thirty-ninth 


153 

Street  between  Woodland  Avenue  and  DeLancey  Street  was  pur- 
chased, and  a  section  of  the  new  building  started  for  the  School  in 
1906.  New  sections  were  added  from  year  to  year  until  the  entire 
courtyard  was  enclosed  in  19 12.  The  School  now  has  a  teaching 
staff  of  twenty-seven  and  an  enrolment  of  one  hundred  and  eighteen 
students. 

THE  VETERINARY  BUILDING  AND  HOSPITAL  occupies 
a  lot  at  Thirty-ninth  Street,  DeLancey  Street  and  Woodland 
Avenue,  260  by  210  feet.  The  buildings  are  constructed  around 
a  square  courtyard,  and  with  their  equipment  form  one  of  the 
most  complete  plants  of  the  kind.  The  buildings  were  designed 
by  Cope  and  Stewardson  in  a  style  of  architecture  adopted  from 
the  English  Collegiate  of  the  seventeenth  century,  in  keeping 
with  that  of  the  Dormitories  and  other  recently  constructed  build- 
ings. They  are  fireproof,  and  are  constructed  of  hard-burnt  brick 
with  limestone  trimmings,  and  the  roof  of  green  slate.  The  main 
entrance  is  through  an  archway  on  Thirty-ninth  Street. 

In  the  series  of  buildings  the  School  and  Hospital  Departments 
are  entirely  separated.  In  the  building  along  Thirty-ninth  Street, 
to  the  north  on  the  first  floor,  are  the  administration  offices  of  the 
School  and  Faculty,  a  class  room  and  the  library.  The  second 
floor  of  this  part  of  the  building  is  occupied  by  the  State  Live 
Stock  Sanitary  Board  in  a  laboratory,  consisting  of  a  suite  of  twelve 
rooms  for  researches  and  experiments  which  are  conducted  under 
the  supervision  of  the  State  Veterinarian.  In  connection  with  the 
laboratory  there  is  also  maintained  an  experimental  farm  near 
Philadelphia.  The  third  floor  of  this  part  of  the  building  contains 
a  class  laboratory,  storerooms,  and  dormitories  for  the  resident 
veterinarian  of  the  Hospital  and  assistants.  The  south  end  of  the 
Thirty-ninth  Street  building  extends  a  short  distance  eastward  on 
Woodland  Avenue  and  contains  the  offices  of  the  Hospital  and  of 
the  resident  veterinarian,  a  reception  room  for  the  public,  a  clinic 
room  for  small  animals  and  a  similar  room  for  large  animals,  a 
pharmacy,  several  large  stalls  for  horses  or  cattle,  a  ward  for  small 
animals  affected  with  contagious  diseases,  irrigation  stalls,  a  room 
for  an  X-ray  apparatus,  and  an  operating  room  and  surgery  for 
large  animals.  On  the  second  floor  of  this  portion  are  hospital  wards 
and  an  operating  room  for  small  animals,  together  with  a  kitchen 
for  preparing  the  food,  a  bathroom  and  an  exercise  ward,  and  also 
sleeping  quarters  for  attendants,  and  a  storeroom. 

The  building  along  Woodland  Avenue  contains  hospital  wards 
for  the  accommodation  of  fifty-five  horses  and  cows,  a  public  farriery, 
and  a  clinical  laboratory.  On  the  second  floor  is  an  assembly 
room  or  "Leonard  Pearson  Hall,"  named  in  honor  of  the  late  Dean. 

The  building  to  the  east  contains  the  anatomical,  histological, 
postmortem,  and  biological  laboratories,  the  dissecting  and  lecture 
rooms. 


154 

The  building  to  the  north  of  the  courtyard  contains,  on  the 
first  floor,  the  pharmacy  and  milk  hygiene  laboratory,  sterilizing 
room,  class  rooms  and  students'  room,  and  on  the  second,  floor 
the  inoculation  room  used  by  the  State,  the  laboratories  of  pathol- 
ogy* bacteriology,  and  clinic  room.

who  founded  the  first 

Veterinary  School  at 

Lyons,  France,  in  1762 

THE  LAW  SCHOOL  had  its  beginning  in  1790  in  the  old  Academy 
Building,  when  James  Wilson  was  elected  Professor  of  Law,  which 
was  the  first  University  professorship  in  law  instituted  in  North 
America.  The  School  had  a  rather  desultory  existence  up  to  the 
year  1850,  when  it  was  reorganized  by  the  Hon.  George  Sharswood, 
since  which  year  it  has  had  more  than  five  thousand  matriculates, 
of  whom  more  than  one-half  were  graduated.  At  present,  it  has 
an  enrolment  of  374  and  a  teaching  staff  of  26.  Like  the  Medical 
School,  at  various  stages  of  its  existence  it  has  occupied  quarters 
in  the  first  buildings  at  Fourth  and  Arch  Streets,  at  Ninth  and 
Market  Streets,  in  College  Hall  on  the  present  campus,  then  the 
sixth  floor  of  the  Girard  Building  at  Broad  and  Chestnut  Streets, 
and  in  1895  the  historic  quarters  in  Independence  Square,  where 
for  a  period  of  five  years  it  occupied  the  old  "New  Court  House" 
and  " Congress  Hall" — here  almost  a  thousand  students  had  the 
privilege  of  studying  law  in  the  same  halls  in  which  Washington 
and  Adams  were  inaugurated  President,  where  the  United  States 


157 

Congress  met  for  ten  years,  and  where  some  of  the  most  important 
laws  of  the  early  government  of  the  country  were  enacted.  In 
1900  the  School  moved  into  its  new  building  in  West  Philadelphia. 
In  19 14  the  Department  became  a  purely  graduate  school,  all  candi- 
dates for  degrees  being  obliged  to  present  for  entrance  a  college 
degree,  thus  raising  the  standards  of  the  School  to  the  highest  in 
America. 

THE  LAW  SCHOOL  BUILDING  was  formally  dedicated  on 
"University  Day,"  February  22,  1900.  It  is  one  of  the  most 
beautiful  buildings  of  the  University  group,  and  is  an  architectural 
monument.  It  was  designed  by  Cope  and  Stewardson  in  a  style 
similar  in  character  to  the  English  Renaissance  as  developed  by 
Sir  Christopher  Wren.  The  building  has  a  frontage  of  190  feet  on 
Thirty-fourth  Street  and  a  depth  of  120  feet  along  Chestnut  and 
Sansom  Streets.  The  construction  is  fireproof  throughout,  the 
exterior  being  of  Indiana  limestone  and  dull  red  brick;  its  cost 
was  nearly  half  a  million  dollars.  Interesting  features  of  the 
interior  are  the  spacious  hallways,  the  rotunda,  and  the  grand 
staircase. 

On  the  second  floor  are  two  large  halls  or  reading  rooms,  each 
40  by  114  feet,  and  30  feet  high,  each  hall  containing  254  individual 
desks.  The  hall  to  the  north  is  known  as  McKean  Hall,  and  was 
named  in  honor  of  Chief  Justice  Thomas  McKean,  one  of  the 
signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence  and  a  trustee  of  the 
University.  The  south  hall  was  named  for  Chief  Justice  George 
Sharswood,  who  reorganized  the  Law  School  in  1850,  and  who  was 
a  professor  and  trustee  of  the  University  for  many  years.  Another 
large  reading  room  on  this  floor  is  McMurtrie  Hall,  named  for  the 
late  Richard  C.  McMurtrie,  an  eminent  member  of  the  Phila- 
delphia Bar.  Each  student  has  a  desk  assigned  to  him  in  one  of 
the  large  rooms  and  is  thus  enabled  to  enjoy  an  undisturbed  place 
of  study  during  his  three  years  at  the  law  school.  The  graduate 
reading  room  contains  twenty-six  large  tables  which  are  assigned 
to  advanced  students  and  men  engaged  in  legal  research.  In  front 
of  McMurtrie  Hall  is  the  "Biddle  Law  Library"  room,  a  fireproof 
stack  containing  55,000  volumes  of  law  books.  This  Library  was 
founded  by  the  family  of  George  W.  Biddle,  as  a  memorial  to  his 
three  sons,  George,  Algernon  Sydney,  and  Arthur  Biddle.  The 
original  gift  of  five  thousand  volumes  was  supplemented  in  1897 
by  the  presentation  by  Mrs.  Arthur  Biddle  of  more  than  four 
thousand  volumes.  The  family  of  the  late  Richard  C.  McMurtrie 
presented  his  law  library  to  the  University  in  1906.  Many  other 
valuable  gifts  have  been  received  from  families  and  individual 
donors.  On  the  second  floor  are  also  ten  small  rooms  used  by  the 
Librarian  and  members  of  the  teaching  staff.  On  the  first  floor 
are  the  offices  of  the  Dean,  six  class  rooms,  a  moot  court-room, 
Wharton   Hall,   Price   Hall    (a  general   assembly   room),   and   the 


158 

Museum  of  the  Pennsylvania  Bar  Association.  In  the  latter  are 
deposited  many  objects  of  historical  interest  to  members  of  the 
legal  profession,  especially  to  the  Pennsylvania  Bar.  In  the  base- 
ment are  the  club  rooms  of  the  various  student  organizations  of 
the  Law  School  and  in  the  sub-cellar  is  a  modern  lighting,  heating, 
and  ventilating  plant. 

A  lot  immediately  in  the  rear  of  the  Law  School  Building  is 
owned  by  the  University  and  was  purchased  for  the  extension  of 
the  Law  School  Building.  The  University  Tennis  Association 
occupies  it  at  present  with  six  tennis  courts. 

On  the  circular  medallions  of  stone  in  the  first  story  are  cut 
the  names  chosen  by  the  late  Hon.  John  I.  Clark  Hare  for  special 
honor.

MEMORIAL  COLLECTIONS   OF  LEGAL 
ENGRAVINGS 

In  the  class  rooms  are  three  interesting  collections  of  English 
and  American  legal  engravings,  known  as  the  Erskine  Hazard 
Dickson  Collection,  presented  by  the  Sharswood  Law  Club;  the 
George  M.  Wharton  Memorial  Collection,  presented  by  Mrs. 
Thomas  McKean,  and  the  James  T.  Mitchell  Collection,  pre- 
sented by  friends  of  the  Chief  Justice. 

The  first  two  collections  contain  almost  two  hundred  portraits, 
and  form  the  most  complete  collection  of  English  legal  engrav- 
ings in  America.  The  Mitchell  collection  of  American  legal  en- 
gravings is  also  very  excellent. 

In  a  frame  on  the  wall  of  the  rotunda  on  the  second  floor  are  a 
number  of  original  documents,  of  Benjamin  Franklin,  George 
Washington,  and  other  men  of  Colonial  days.

THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  ARCHAEOLOGY  was  founded  in 
1 889  by  the  late  William  Pepper  and  for  ten  years  occupied  quarters 
in  the  Library  Building.  The  Department  is  divided  into  five 
sections,  each  under  the  management  of  a  curator,  viz.:  General 
Ethnology,  and  American  Prehistoric  Archaeology,  Babylonian 
and  General  Semitic,  Egyptian  and  Mediterranean  Sections.  The 
ground  for  these  buildings  and  gardens,  almost  ten  acres,  was 
donated  by  the  city.  The  Museum  is  located  on  Spruce  Street 
east  of  Thirty-fourth  Street.  The  Philadelphia  Commercial 
Museums,  the  largest  of  their  kind  in  America,  are  located  in  the  rear. 

MUSEUM  BUILDING.— The  northwestern  section  was  begun 
in  1897  and  dedicated  December  20,  1899.  The  second  section, 
which  consists  of  the  first  of  the  two  secondary  domes,  was  started 
in  19 12  and  finished  in  19 14.  The  cost  of  these  two  sections  was 
about  $700,000.  The  joint  architects,  in  charge  of  the  plans  for 
the  completion  of  the  Museum,  are  Messrs.  Wilson  Eyre,  Jr., 
Cope  &  Stewardson,  and  Frank  Miles  Day  &  Brother.  The 
plans  provide  for  an  extensive  group  of  buildings  to  be  constructed 
by  sections.  The  whole  will  cover  almost  twelve  acres  of  ground 
and  is  estimated  to  cost  at  least  $3,000,000.  The  first  section 
to  be  built  was  the  northwestern  wing  which  will  be  about  one- 
seventh  of  the  completed  building  which  is  to  consist  of  a  series 
of  wings  separated  by  open  courtyards  planted  with  shrubbery 
and  provided  with  fountains  and  ponds.  The  central  feature 
of  the  building  represents  a  large  hall,  the  roof  or  dome  of  which 
will  rise  to  a  greater  elevation  than  that  of  the  wings.  From  this 
dome  broad  galleries  are  to  extend  eastward  and  westward  to  two 
secondary  domes,  with  each  of  which  are  connected  two  groups 
of  buildings,  one  facing  north  and  the  other  facing  south.  The 
portions  at  present  erected  are  part  of  the  western  group  and  the 
western  secondary  dome  and  consist  of  a  series  of  buildings  facing 
three  sides  of  a  courtyard  in  which  there  is  a  pool  containing  aquatic 
plants. 

Competent  critics  consider  the  treatment  of  this  building  and 
its  courtyard  one  of  the  most  charming  and  successful  works  of 
architecture  in  this  country.  It  is  inspired  by  the  round  arched 
brick  architecture  of  Northern  Italy  of  about  the  twelfth  century. 
In  some  respects  the  architectural  details,  especially  of  the  dome, 
resemble  those  of  the  old  church  of  San  Stefano  in  Bologna.  The 
material  is  rough  brick,  laid  with  wide  mortar  joints,  the  only 
exterior  ornamentation  being  rough  mosaic  fragments  of  brick  and 
marble.  The  roof,  of  Spanish  tiles,  adds  greatly  to  the  beauty 
of  the  structure. 

The  extension  finished  in  19 14  consists  of  a  gallery  extending 
from  the  first  building  southward  and  terminating  in  a  round 
tower,  which  is  ninety-six  feet  in  diameter  and  more  than  one 
hundred  feet  high. 


i67 

This  secondary  dome  marks  the  center  of  the  two  western  sec- 
tions. A  similar  tower  will  be  erected  for  the  two  eastern  buildings, 
and  there  will  be  a  much  larger  one  in  the  center,  which,  as  stated 
before,  will  dominate  the  entire  structure  when  completed. 

The  new  gallery  and  circular  room  is  one  hundred  feet  high 
and  will  be  used  for  general  display  purposes  of  the  Museum. 

Underneath  the  tower  is  a  large  circular  lecture  room  with 
a  commodious  stage,  the  usual  dressing  rooms  and  seats  for  about 
twelve  hundred  persons.  This  is  used  for  the  lectures  given  under 
the  auspices  of  the  Museum. 

In  the  near  future  it  is  intended  to  begin  further  extensions  to 
the  east  to  accommodate  the  rapidly  accumulating  works  of  art, 
archaeology  and  ethnology  which  are  being  gathered  from  all  over 
the  world.  The  object  of  the  Museum  is  to  assemble  and  preserve 
collections  illustrating  the  history  of  mankind.  These  collections 
are  procured  by  expeditions  sent  to  excavate  ancient  sites  or  to 
study  existing  types  of  human  civilization.  The  collections  thus 
procured  are  developed  in  the  Museum  into  exhibitions  illustrating 
the  rise  and  progress  of  civilization.  These  exhibitions  are  further 
developed  by  the  purchase  of  such  collections  as  may  serve  to 
augment  and  amplify  the  lessons  which  are  to  be  conveyed. 

Among  the  more  notable  exhibitions  now  to  be  seen  in  the 
Museum  are  the  Egyptian,  Cretan,  Etruscan,  and  Babylonian 
antiquities  including  the  famous  collection  of  inscribed  tablets 
from  Nippur. 

The  ancient  civilizations  of  the  new  world  are  represented  by 
exhibitions  of  potteries,  woven  fabrics,  metal  work  and  other 
antiquities  of  ancient  Peru  and  illustrating  the  civilization  of 
the  Incas  and  also  the  earlier  civilization  of  pre-Inca  times;  by 
collections  of  pottery  and  sculpture  from  Mexico  and  Central 
America;  by  the  painted  potteries  and  woven  fabrics  from  the 
ruined  Pueblos  of  Arizona  and  New  Mexico,  and  from  the  Cliff 
Dwellers  of  the  adjacent  southwestern  country;  by  the  stone 
implements,  pipes  and  ornaments  dug  up  from  the  ancient  burying 
places  and  village  sites  of  the  eastern,  southern  and  middle  states 
of  the  United  States. 

The  more  primitive  peoples  now  inhabiting  the  earth  are  repre- 
sented by  collections  of  clothing,  weapons,  implements,  utensils 
and  ornaments  from  the  native  peoples  of  Borneo,  the  Philippines, 
Central  Africa,  Australia,  the  Islands  of  the  South  Seas,  the  Naga 
Hill  tribes  of  Assam,  the  Ainus  of  Japan  and  the  Indians  of  North 
and  South  America. 

The  following  special  collections  are  also  to  be  seen:  The  Frish- 
muth  collection  of  musical  instruments;  the  Drexel  collection  of 
fans;  the  Brock  collection  of  coins;  the  Sommerville  collection 
of  Buddhist  art  and  the  Sommerville  collection  of  gems  and  cameos. 
Other  collections  are  the  George  G.  Heye  collection  of  the  tribes 
of  Indians  of  Canada  and  the  United  States;    the  Wanamaker 


1 69 

collections  of  reproductions  of  Pompeian,  Herculaneum  and  Etrus- 
can bronzes;  the  Brinton  Library  of  Americana;  the  Egyptian  col- 
lection of  statues,  paintings,  mummies  and  sarcophagi,  including  the 
large  Sphinx  of  Rameses  II;  the  "Nippur  Library"  of  cuneiform 
inscriptions;  the  Coxe  collections,  the  Dillwyn-Parrish  collection  of 
Graeco-Roman  papyri,  among  which  are  the  oldest  known  frag- 
ments of  the  Gospel  of  St.  Matthew;  Drexel  collection  of  original 
ancient  sculpture,  and  many  other  special  collections. 

The  west  central  hall  or  rotunda  of  the  Museum  is  known  as 
Pepper  Hall,  named  in  honor  of  the  founder  of  the  Museum. 
The  Museum  library  and  a  small  lecture  hall  occupy  corresponding 
positions  in  the  eastern  and  western  arms  of  the  building,  the  latter 
is  known  as  Widener  Lecture  Hall  and  was  named  by  the  donor 
for  Josephine  Widener.  In  the  basement  are  rooms  for  the 
photographers,  storage,  packing,  and  restaurant  rooms.

sented to  the  University  by  his  friends  in  1889.  The  bronze  tablet  on  the  front 
of  the  pedestal  is  inscribed: 

WILLIAM   PEPPER,   M.D.,   LL.D. 

Provost    of    the    University    of    Pennsylvania 

1881-1894 


On  the  bronze  reliefs  on  the  sides  are  the  following  inscriptions: 

There  shall  be  sleeping  enough  in  the 
grave. 

All  things  exist  in  the  man  tinged  with 
the  manners  of  his  soul. 


170 

The  bronze  tablet  on  the  back  of  the  pedestal  is  inscribed  as 
follows: 

As  Provost  he  established  the  following  University 
Departments: 

The  Wharton  School  of  Finance  and  Economy,  the 
University  Library,  the  Biological  Department,  the 
Graduate  Department  for  Women,  the  Department  or 
Philosophy,  the  Department  of  Hygiene,  the  Veterin- 
ary Department,  the  Department  of  Architecture,  the 
Training  School  for  Nurses,  the  Wistar  Institute 
of  Anatomy  and  Biology,  the  Department  of  Physical 
Education,  the  William  Pepper  Laboratory  of  Clinical 
Medicine,  the  Department  of  Archaeology  and  Paleon- 
tology. 

And  the  following  public  institutions  were  his 
creations:  The  Free  Library  of  Philadelphia,  the 
Museum  of  Science  and  Art,  the  Philadelphia  Mu- 
seum. 

YOU    AND    I     MUST    PASS    AWAY,    BUT    THESE    THINGS    WILL    LAST. 

THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  PHYSICAL  EDUCATION  was  made 
a  part  of  the  curriculum  of  the  University  in  1904,  with  its  head- 
quarters in  the  Gymnasium.  Its  regulations  apply  to  all  male 
students  of  the  University  except  those  of  the  Graduate  School, 
Evening  School  of  Accounts  and  Finance,  Summer  School,  and 
those  taking  post-graduate  work. 

Every  student  subject  to  the  regulations  of  the  Department 
when  he  registers  for  the  first  time  receives  an  appointment  card 
for  physical  and  medical  examination.  After  filling  in  a  blank 
referring  to  his  past  health  and  habits  he  reports  at  the  physical 
director's  office.  When  the  tapeline  has  recorded  his  length,  breadth 
and  thickness,  and  after  he  has  pushed,  pulled,  grasped,  and  lifted 
his  best,  he  is  placed  standing  upright  with  feet  together  and  his 
posture  and  figure  are  examined.  By  an  arrangement  of  mirrors 
he  can  see  his  own  back  for  the  first  time  without  moving.  The 
flat  chest,  uneven  shoulders,  lateral  curvature,  are  at  once  evident 
to  him.  The  broken  down  arch  that  has  given  pains  to  the  feet 
is  easily  demonstrated.  He  is  then  put  under  treatment  which 
runs  in  concord  with  his  college  course.  After  this  inspection  he 
lies  down  on  a  couch  for  further  examination  of  the  heart  and 
lungs,  and  a  test  of  the  hearing  of  each  ear.  On  leaving  the  room 
he  gets  a  card  which  he  takes  to  the  swimming  instructor.  If  he 
cannot  swim  the  length  of  the  hundred-foot  pool  he  is  put  under 
instruction,  for  every  man  must  learn  during  his  first  year  to  take 
care  of  himself  in  the  water.  In  the  last  ten  years  more  than  three 
thousand  men  have  been  taught  to  swim. 

Men  having  physical  defects  are  given  cards  on  which  are  printed 
lists  of  exercises  suitable  for  each  case.  These  are  taken  to  the 
instructor  on  the  gymnasium  floor,  who  demonstrates  the  move- 
ments and  repeats  them  until  the  student  has  mastered  them. 
The  treatment  of  graver  disabilities  is  a  different  matter.  A  man

stake,  and  his  relation  to  the  college  community  must  also  be  con- 
sidered. If  the  trouble  is  slight  he  is  put  under  observation  and 
treated  by  a  specially  appointed  college  physician  if  he  is  in  residence 
and  away  from  home.  If  he  lives  at  home  his  family  is  informed 
that  he  must  be  put  under  treatment  at  once.  By  this  kind  of 
care  he  usually  gains  rapidly  in  weight  and  often  throws  off  the 
infection  with  little  or  no  interference  to  his  college  work.  Gains 
of  from  ten  to  fifteen  pounds  and  disappearance  of  symptoms  after 
a  few  weeks  open-air  sleeping  and  prescribed  feeding  are  frequently 
reported.  About  forty  in  one  thousand  men  show  some  serious 
disturbance  in  the  circulation,  from  irregularity  of  pulse  to  structural 
damage  of  the  heart.  These  men  are  protected  from  physical 
overstrain.  They  are  taught  to  nurse  their  physical  resources  and 
to  take  only  such  exercise  as  will  build  up  their  resistance.  Every 
candidate  for  an  athletic  team  must  show  a  certificate  of  physical 
soundness  given  after  examination  each  year  when  he  reports  for 
an  athletic  team  or  squad.  It  is  on  the  basis  of  these  examinations 
that  the  director  regulates  the  physical  life  of  the  Pennsylvania 
student.  He  may  prescribe  very  light  individual  exercise  given 
personally  by  instructors,  or  he  may  allow  him  to  elect  football, 
baseball,  basket-ball,  swimming,  rowing,  fencing,  boxing,  wrestling, 
soccer,  tennis,  cricket  or  golf,  credit  for  his  attendance  being  given 
during  the  time  he  is  actively  engaged  on  each  squad.  Whatever 
form  of  sport  he  may  choose  or  whatever  form  of  exercise  may  be 
allotted  to  him,  he  must  account  to  the  University  for  two  hours 
a  week  taken  under  the  direction  of  the  Department  unless  excused 
by  the  Director  himself. 

There  are  two  students'  physicians  at  Pennsylvania  with  a  corps 
of  assistants  and  the  University  Hospital  forms  the  center  round 
which  other  buildings  cluster,  while  in  the  center  of  the  Hospital 
is  the  students'  ward.  These  cases  receive  the  attention  of  the 
Professor  of  Medicine  in  his  daily  rounds,  and  most  of  the  beds  are 
endowed  by  friends  and  relatives  of  those  who  have  found  them 
a  haven  of  refuge  during  their  college  days.  In  an  institution  so 
large  as  Pennsylvania,  with  its  6,500  men,  the  danger  of  an  epi- 
demic must  always  be  present  in  the  minds  of  the  University  Com- 
mittee on  Hygiene  and  the  members  of  the  medical  staff,  and  the 
least  suspicion  as  to  a  throat  or  a  rash  or  a  high  temperature  means 
isolation  until  the  question  of  contagion  is  beyond  doubt.  Fortu- 
nately no  bad  epidemic  has  got  headway,  although  many  have 
been  averted  by  quick  action  of  the  physician-in-charge  and  the 
Department  of  Hygiene. 

For  the  isolation  of  suspicious  cases,  or  those  who  have  been 
in  contact  with  contagious  diseases,  or  those  <  others  for  whom 
isolation  for  a  period  of  observation  seems  desirable,  there  is  an 
"isolation"  or  "observation"  house  on  the  University  property. 
This  will  be  of  great  service  in  the  campaign  of  preventive  medicine 
at  the  University, 


174 

The  Committee  on  Hygiene  occupies  itself  with  the  general 
questions  of  student  life,  the  sanitary  condition  of  the  dormitories, 
and  the  sterilization  of  water  in  the  swimming  pool,  and  the  isola- 
tion of  contagious  cases.  Another  committee  occupies  itself  with 
the  inspection  of  boarding  houses  which  are  approved  by  the  Uni- 
versity, and  in  this  way  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  tries  to 
provide  for  the  physical  education,  sanitation,  and  general  health 
of  its  student  body. 

THE  ATHLETIC  ASSOCIATION  was  organized  in  1873,  and 
incorporated  in  1882.  The  "Old  Field,"  located  at  Thirty-seventh 
and  Spruce  Streets — now  the  site  for  the  "Big,"  "South"  and 
"East"  Quads  of  the  dormitory  system — was  used  for  all  athletic 
contests  from  1885  to  1895. 


GYMNASTIC    DRILL    IN    WEIGHTMAN    HALL. 


FRANKLIN  FIELD  was  dedicated  April  20,  1895.  The  improve- 
ments consisting  of  the  stadium  and  grandstands  and  the  gymnasium 
building  cost,  exclusive  of  grounds,  $500,000.  These  improve- 
ments were  made  during  1903-04.  The  architects  were  Frank 
Miles  Day  &  Bro.  The  Field  is  714  feet  long  and  443  feet  wide. 
The  stands  were  built  similar  to  a  house,  the  slant  representing 
the  roof.  Massive  walls  with  solid  buttresses  form  the  backs,  the 
low  walls,  the  copings;  while  the  roof,  covered  with  felt,  cement, 
and  slag,  supports  the  seats  and  foot  boards.  These  stands  cover 
the  north,  south,  and  east  sides  of  the  field,  while  the  gymnasium 
encloses  the  west  side.  Underneath  the  stands  are  excellent  in- 
door tracks  and  winter  training  quarters  for  athletes.  The  seating 
capacity  of  the  field  including  temporary  stands  is  about  32,000. 
At  each  end  of  the  gymnasium  there  is  a  memorial  gateway  dedi- 


175 

cated  to  famous  athletes;  these  form  the  main  entrances  to  Franklin 
Field.  The  Field  contains  a  quarter-mile  track,  football  field  and 
a  baseball  diamond.  The  Field  for  many  years  was  the  scene  of 
the  Annual  Football  Games  between  the  U.  S.  Military  and  Naval 
Academies. 

THE  GYMNASIUM  BUILDING  is  on  the  west  end  of  Franklin 
Field  facing  Thirty- third  Street.  It  was  erected  in  1903  at  a  cost 
of  about  $400,000  by  the  Athletic  Association.  The  building  is 
275  by  80  feet,  being  made  up  of  a  central  portion  and  two  square

towers  and  wing  buildings  at  the  end.  The  architecture  is  English 
Collegiate  Gothic,  and  the  material  of  dark  red  brick  with  black 
headers  laid  in  Flemish  bond,  trimmed  with  terra  cotta  and  in 
some  parts  with  Indiana  limestone  of  the  same  color.  The  con- 
struction is  entirely  fireproof,  the  floors  and  columns  being  of 
concrete.  The  architects  were  Frank  Miles  Day  &  Bro.  One- 
half  of  the  ground  floor  of  the  main  building  is  taken  up  with  a 
swimming  pool  which  is  100  feet  long  and  30  feet  wide,  9  feet  deep 
at  one  end,  4  feet  6  inches  at  the  other.  There  is  a  gallery  for 
spectators.     The  other  portion  of  the  lower  floor  is  divided  into 


176 

rooms  for  fencing,  sparring,  rowing,  boxing,  etc.  The  rowing  room, 
75  by  30  feet,  is  used  as  an  accessory  gymnasium,  with  sixteen 
machines  on  which  the  crew  do  their  winter  training;  and  in  it 
are  found  additional  gymnastic  apparatus. 

The  entire  second  floor  is  occupied  by  Weightman  Hall,  which 
is  about  150  by  75  feet,  with  a  skylight  over  almost  the  entire  roof. 
The  towers  and  wing  buildings  contain  locker  rooms  for  students, 
professors,   home    and   visiting   teams.      There   are   about   4,000

lockers  in  all,  with  provision  for  many  more.  There  are  numerous 
shower  bath  rooms  and  offices  for  the  secretary,  manager,  physical 
instructor,  and  others.  The  offices  in  the  North  Wing  are  used 
by  the  Department  of  Physical  Education,  and  those  in  the  South 
Wing  by  the  Athletic  Association.  There  are  two  main  entrances 
on  Thirty-third  Street,  extending  into  large  halls  leading  to  the 
upper  floors.  There  are  also  entrances  from  the  Field,  and  all 
parts  of  the  building  are  connected. 

THE  TRAINING  HOUSE  with  dormitories  for  athletes  is  at 
Thirty- third  and  Marston  Streets;  alongside  of  the  North  Wing 
of  the  Gymnasium;    the  new  building  adds  to  the  architectural

tive  on  the  athletic  grounds.  The  building  contains  accommoda- 
tions for  twenty-six  men  and  the  large  living  and  dining  halls 
accommodate  about  seventy.  The  building  has  three  stories  over 
a  high  basement.  In  the  basement  are  the  kitchen  and  pantry, 
the  steward's  and  servants'  rooms,  and  the  boiler  and  engine  rooms. 
On  the  first  floor  is  a  large  lounging  room  and  dining  hall,  connected 
with  an  open  hallway.  The  coaches  also  have  rooms  on  this  floor, 
leading  off  from  the  hall.  •  On  the  second  and  third  floors  are  twenty- 
six  bedrooms  and  a  study.     The  building  is  the  gift  of  the  Alumni. 

MEMORIALS  AND  INSCRIPTIONS  IN  GYMNASIUM, 
FRANKLIN  FIELD,  AND  TRAINING  HOUSE 

On  the  terrace,  midway  between  the  two  entrances  to  the  Gym- 
nasium, on  a  pedestal  designed  by  Professor  P.  P.  Cret,  is  a  heroic 
statue  of: 

BENJAMIN  FRANKLIN    (modeled  by  Dr.  R.  Tait  McKenzie). 


This  figure  represents  the  founder  of  the  University  at  the  age 
of  seventeen  years,  entering  Philadelphia  in  1723.  The  statue  is 
the  gift  of  the  Class  of  1904  and  was  formally  unveiled  in  June, 
19 14.  On  the  front  of  the  pedestal,  in  bronze  letters,  is  the  follow- 
ing inscription: 

BENJAMIN   FRANKLIN,   1723 


and  a  scroll,  supporting  the  seal  of  the  University,  contains  these 
words: 

From  the  Class  of  1904  College. 

The  design  at  the  bottom  of  the  pedestal  is  symbolical  of  the 
thunderbolt.

UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA  BOAT  HOUSE.— Located 
in  Fairmount  Park  on  the  Schuylkill  River.  The  College  Boat 
Club  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  was  founded  in  1872, 
and  the  present  boat  house  built  a  few  years  later.  The  first 
University  crew  was  organized  in  1877.  A  fund  of  $40,000  is  now 
being  raised  for  the  construction  of  a  new  and  more  modern  boat 
house  upon  the  west  banks  of  the  Schuylkill.  The  present  Club 
House  has  long  been  inadequate  for  the  number  of  students  who 
wish  to  make  use  of  it.

The  Schuylkill  River,  known  as  the  "National  Course,"  was 
selected  by  the  representatives  of  various  American  Rowing 
Associations  as  the  best  course  for  holding  the  "American  Regatta."

VARSITY    BOAT   HOUSE    AND    CREW    ON    THE    SCHUYLKILL. 


THE  UNIVERSITY   CHRISTIAN   SETTLEMENT  BUILDING 

at  the  northwest  corner  of  Lombard  and  Twenty-sixth  Streets 
was  opened  in  the  fall  of  1906.  It  was  designed  in  the  Philadelphia 
English  Colonial  style  by  the  late  Professor  Charles  F.  Osborne 
of  the  Architectural  School,  and  has  all  the  latest  equipment  of 
a  modern  settlement  building.  Adjoining  is  a  small  playground 
and  several  small  houses  used  largely  for  neighborhood  club  pur- 
poses. The  total  cost  was  $60,000.  The  building  is  82  by  54  feet, 
with  three  stories,  basement,  and  roof  garden..  The  basement 
contains  a  gymnasium  40  by  60  feet  (which  may  also  be  used  as 


1 86 

an  auditorium),  a  bowling-alley,  and  locker  rooms  with  showers, 
and  heating  plant.  The  first  floor  accommodates  the  office,  gym- 
nasium gallery,  and  two  club  rooms  for  men,  with  baths  and  a 
separate  entrance;  the  second  floor  has  an  auditorium  which  is 
also  used  as  the  girls'  gymnasium,  the  library,  two  club  rooms 
for  young  men,  two  for  boys,  two  for  girls,  a  demonstrating  kitchen, 
and  a  locker  room  with  baths  for  girls.  The  third  floor  provides 
living  quarters  for  the  Resident  Director  and  family,  four  women 
workers  and  ten  students.  The  roof  garden  is  well  adapted  for 
kindergarten  work,  baseball,  entertainments  and  festivals. 

On  the  wall  of  the  main  staircase  is  a  brass  tablet  to  Dr.  Horatio 
C.  Wood,  inscribed  as  follows: 

This    Tablet 

Bears   witness   to   the   enduring  gratitude 

of 

the    friends    and    admirers 

of 

HORATIO  C.   WOOD,  M.D.,  LL.D. 

to   whose   unwearied   exertions,   unstinted   liberality 

wise   counsel   and   eloquent   voice,   the 

foundation  and    completion 

of  < 

this    building 

are    mainly    indebted 

"more    is    his    due    than    more    than    all    can    pay." 

The  old  building,  which  has  been  connected  with  the  new  house 
by  a  hallway,  contains  a  small  gymnasium  room,  and  class  rooms 
for  the  small  boys.  An  enclosure  between  the  two  buildings  is 
used  for  the  physician's  office  and  dental  clinic,  and  the  boys'  baths. 
The  actual  work  is  carried  on  by  the  residents,  and  by  the  Professors 
and  students  of  the  University,  who  conduct  classes  in  gymnastics, 
printing,  singing,  and  manual  training.  There  are  also  lectures, 
entertainments,  and  religious  meetings.  Athletics  have  a  promi- 
nent place  in  the  Settlement  activities,  and  there  are  teams  in 
football,  basketball,  and  baseball.  These  teams  use  the  Settle- 
ment Athletic  Field,  consisting  of  twenty  acres,  on  the  west  bank 
of  the  Schuylkill  River,  almost  opposite  the  Settlement  Building, 
and  near  the  University  Campus. 

SETTLEMENT  CAMP.— Since  1898  a  Camp  has  been  con- 
ducted by  the  Association  each  year  during  the  summer  months 
in  various  picturesque  spots.  In  1908  the  Association  purchased 
a  beautiful  site  in  the  Perkiomen  Valley,  consisting  of  a  farm  of 
sixty-four  acres  with  a  stone  house  and  barn,  and  built  a  com- 
modious bungalow.  The  land  is  of  a  varied  nature,  with  open 
grassy  fields,  charming  hills,  huge  boulders  and  thickly  wooded 
groves;  a  rocky  stream,  and  a  dam,  forming  a  pond  about  a  quarter 
of  a  mile  in  length,  affording  good  swimming,  fishing,  and  boating. 
The  level  tract  furnishes  ample  room  for  tennis,   baseball,   and 


i87 

running  track;    other  tracts  are  at  the  disposal  of  the  Association 
and  have  been  put  to  similar  uses. 

The  Settlement  sends  out  each  summer  to  these  various  farms, 
relays  of  twenty  or  thirty  boys;  groups  of  men,  and  of  girls.  More 
than  a  hundred  can  be  accommodated  at  a  time.  Each  group 
remains  for  a  week  or  ten  days'  outing.  There  is  also  a  large  play- 
ground of  twenty-two  acres  conducted  by  the  Association  on  the 
grounds  of  the  University  along  the  west  banks  of  the  Schuylkill, 
in  front  and  back  of  the  Commercial  Museum  Buildings.

any  time  at  the  Christian  Association  Rooms  in  Houston  Hall. 

THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA  MEDICAL  SCHOOL 
IN  CANTON,  CHINA,  was  founded  under  the  auspices  of  the  Chris- 
tian Association  of  the  University  in  1906.  The  motive  and  purposes 
of  the  school  are  set  forth  in  a  preamble  to  a  resolution  passed  by 
the  Board  in  March  of  that  year,  which  was  in  part  as  follows: 

"The  Christian  Association  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania 
desires  to  undertake  in  China  the* work  of  medical  instruction  under 


188 


Christian  influences,  with  the  ultimate  purpose  of  establishing  and 
maintaining  a  Medical  School,  whose  students  will  be  surrounded 
by  a  positive  Christian  environment,  whose  equipment  and  quality 
of  work  shall  reach  the  highest  Western  standards,  and  which  shall 
eventually  be  brought  into  some  direct  official  relation  with  the 
Medical  Department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  in  order 
that  the  standard  of  its  work  may  be  guaranteed,  that  it  may 
attract  the  interest  and  support  of  the  whole  University  body, 
and  that  it  may  stand  to  attest  the  recognition  by  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania  of  the  wide  claims  and  responsibilities  that  rest 
upon  a  Christian  University." 


SETTLEMENT   FARM   OF   THE   CHRISTIAN    ASSOCIATION. 


The  objects  of  the  school  are  further  amplified  in  an  extract 
from  recently  adopted  by-laws  as  follows: 

"To  give  thorough  instruction  in  medicine  and  surgery  to  the

"  (e)  To  encourage  and  make  provision  for  post-graduate  study. 

"(/)  To  extend  the  knowledge  of  Jesus  Christ  to  all  coming 
within  the  sphere  of  influence  of  the  school." 

The  Board  of  Directors  is  composed  of  eminent  citizens  of  Phila- 
delphia, and  the  staff  includes  three  American  doctors  and  one 
Chinese  doctor,  three  women,  a  Chinese  secretary  of  religious  work 
and  a  Chinese  chemist. 

The  school  is  located  on  an  island  across  the  river  from  the 
eastern  section  of  Canton.  The  principal  building  is  the  first  sec- 
tion of  a  permanent  three-story  hospital  erected  at  a  cost  of  $17,000, 
including  equipment.  The  building  is  fireproof,  being  constructed 
of  brick  and  re-enforced  concrete.  In  the  basement  is  a  coal  cellar 
and  a  carpenter  shop.  Half  the  first  floor  is  devoted  to  a  dispensary, 
with  a  large  waiting  room  and  private  offices  for  surgical,  medical 
and  eye  clinics,  and  the  drug  store.  At  the  other  end  of  this  floor 
is  the  men's  ward. 

Above  the  men's  ward,  on  the  second  floor,  is  a  ward  for  women, 
while  at  the  western  end  of  this  story  are  the  operating  room,  dark 
room,  sterilizing  and  anesthetizing  rooms.  Here  are  also  an  office, 
a  class  room  and  laboratory. 

The  third  floor  of  the  building  is  entirely  taken  up  as  a  residence 
for  the  foreign  staff,  and  the  operating  room  on  the  second  floor  is 
used  for  the  better  class  of  Chinese  and  foreign  patients.  Residence 
houses  are  now  under  construction  and  when  completed  the  hospital 
will  be  devoted  entirely  to  patients.  A  Nurses'  Training  School 
was  instituted  in  19 13.  During  the  year  ending  August  31,  19 12, 
2,442  patients  were  treated  in  the  dispensary;  587  outside  calls 
were  made;  228  cases  were  admitted  to  the  hospital  and  457  opera- 
tions were  performed,  177  of  which  were  conducted  at  Karuizawa, 
Japan,  by  a  member  of  the  surgical  staff  of  the  school. 

PLANS  FOR  A  UNIVERSITY  CHAPEL 

Plans  have  been  drawn  for  a  proposed  University  Chapel  to  cost 
at  least  half  a  million  dollars.  These  plans  represent  a  building 
180  feet  long  by  66  feet  wide,  and  the  seating  capacity  will  be  about 
fifteen  hundred.  The  plans  call  for  a  tower  30  feet  square  and  175 
feet  high,  and  a  chapter  house  30  feet  in  diameter,  which  will  be 
used  to  accommodate  the  officers  of  the  Christian  Association, 
the  numerous  Bible  classes,  etc.  The  site  has  not  been  definitely 
settled,  the  object  being  to  have  the  Chapel  centrally  located, 
convenient  to  students  of  all  departments,  and  at  the  same  time 
to  have  the  location  one  of  imposing  approach  and  .monumental 
prominence. 


190 

The  architecture  of  the  new  structure  will  be  Collegiate  and 
Gothic,  in  fine  and  strong  lines — sincere,  simple,  grammatical, 
based  on  the  worthiest  precedent,  but  adopted  to  our  modern 
needs  and  conditions.  For  instance,  the  general  motif  of  the 
Chapel  will  be  King's  Chapel  at  Cambridge,  the  noblest  college 
chapel  in  the  world;  the  style  of  the  tower  has  been  suggested  by 
the  splendid  Magdalen  Tower  at  Oxford,  and  the  chapter  house, 
if  such  be  used,  is  to  resemble  the  beautiful  chapter  house  at  Lincoln 


MASK    AND    WIG    GRILL    ROOM. 


Cathedral.  Such  a  general  plan  will  serve  to  maintain  the  finest 
traditions  in  both  collegiate  and  ecclesiastical  architecture,  and  be 
a  monumental  glory  for  all  time. 

The  auditorium  is  to  be  so  arranged  as  to  be  capable  of  being 
divided  into  two  sections  when  needed,  the  choir  seating  so  arranged 
as  to  be  adaptable  either  to  a  small  choir  or  large  chorus.  The 
plans  were  drawn  only  after  the  chapels  of  all  the  leading  colleges 
and  universities  of  our  own  country  and  England  had  been  thor- 
oughly considered.

THE  CHRISTIAN  ASSOCIATION  BUDGET.— There  are  now 

daily  Chapel  and  Sunday  services  under  student  management, 
more  than  1,300  men  in  Bible  study  groups,  a  Christian  Association 
that  uses  thirty-five  leaders  and  secretaries  in  its  work;  a  Uni- 
versity Settlement  for  social  service  in  Philadelphia,  representing 
an  investment  of  $65,000;  a  Medical  Work  in  South  China,  repre- 
senting another  investment  of  $35,000;  student  lectures  and  con- 
ferences; employment  bureau  and  loan  library,  intercollegiate 
Christian  meetings  and  summer  camps.  This  work,  which  was 
very  meagre  sixteen  years  ago,  involving  an  expenditure  of  only 
$700  a  year,  has  now  grown  to  such  proportions  that  it  requires 
a  budget  of  $35,000  a  year  for  use  in  Christian  service. 

THE  MASK  AND  WIG  CLUB.— Pennsylvania's  famous  the- 
atrical organization  was  founded  in  1889.  It  occupies  a  club  house 
at  310  Quince  Street,  formerly  a  stable,  which  was  remodeled  by 
Wilson  Eyre,  Jr.,  and  decorated  by  Maxfield  Parrish.  The  Club 
House  has  cost  the  organization  more  than  $20,000;  it  includes 
a  grill  room  and  offices,  an  auditorium  or  rehearsal  hall,  with  stage 
and  dressing  rooms,  kitchens,  etc.  There  are  two  classes  of  mem- 
bers— -undergraduate  and  alumni.  In  the  early  winter  the  Mask 
and  Wig  "Preliminary  Performances"  are  held  in  the  Club  theatre. 
These  are  for  the  purpose  of  trying  out  new  candidates,  and  admis- 
sion is  entirely  by  invitation.  None  but  apprentices  are  allowed 
to  take  part.  From  the  best  talent  in  the  "preliminaries"  the 
Club  selects  its  material  for  the  annual  Easter  production.  This 
is  always  in  the  nature  of  a  pictorial  extravaganza,  and  is  played 
during  the  whole  of  Easter  week  at  one  of  the  large  Philadelphia 
theatres  followed  by  one-night  stands  in  several  other  cities.  The 
annual  production  is  always  new  and  original,  and  costs  from  $10,000 
to  $12,000  to  present.  Nearly  one  hundred  students  take  part, 
and  the  whole  preparation  and  management  is  in  the  hands  of  the 
alumni  members  of  the  Club.  "The  Mask  and  Wig  Show"  has 
become  the  most  prominent  social  and  dramatic  feature  of  Easter 
week  in  Philadelphia.

FRATERNITY  HOUSES 

PSI  UPSILON.— One  of  the  first  Fraternities  at  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania  to  build  its  own  club  house  was  the  Tau  Chapter 
of  the  Psi  Upsilon,  which  owns  the  imposing  gray  stone  building 
at  the  forks  of  Woodland  Avenue,  Locust  and  Thirty-sixth  Streets. 
The  style  of  architecture  employed  might  be  described  as  a  modified 
Collegiate  Gothic.  The  plans  were  drawn  by  William  D.  Hewitt, 
and  the  building  was  constructed  of  stone  from  the  Chester  Valley, 
donated  by  one  of  the  members.  The  trimmings  are  of  Ohio  stone. 
The  building  has  a  frontage  on  Thirty-sixth  Street  of  64  feet,  and 
an  average  depth  of  60  feet  on  Woodland  Avenue  and  Locust 
vStreet.  On  the  main  floor  is  a  large  central  hall,  reception  room, 
library  and  study;  on  the  second  and  third  floors  are  fourteen  large 
bedrooms,  with  the  necessary  shower  and  bath  rooms.  On  the 
third  floor  is  also  a  large  chapter,  or  initiation  room,  24  feet 
square.  The  floors  and  all  the  interior  woodwork  are  of  oak. 
This  building,  and  all  the  new  Fraternity  houses  about  the  campus, 
have  their  own  steam  or  hot  water  heating  systems,  and  are  equipped 
with  everything  necessary  for  a  complete  club  house,  including 
huge  open  fireplaces. 

DELTA  PHI.— In  front  of  the  Psi  Upsilon,  at  3453  Woodland 
Avenue,  is  the  Delta  Phi  house,  also  known  as  the  St.  Elmo  Club. 
The  front  elevation  comes  out  to  the  building  line  of  Woodland 


197 

Avenue,  and  forms  the  long  side  of  a  triangular  lot,  which  gives 
the  building  the  appearance  of  being  more  massive  than  it  really 
is,  its  depth  being  rather  shallow.  The  style  of  architecture  might 
be  described  as  an  adaptation  of  the  Jacobean.  The  building  is 
constructed  of  hard  burnt  brick,  ornamented  by  borders,  copings 
and  projections  of  the  same  material.  It  is  four  stories  high,  and 
on  the  second  floor,  facing  the  campus,  is  a  small  open  loggia. 

PHI  KAPPA  PSI .— Occupying  four  lots  on  the  north  side  of 
Locust  Street,  near  Thirty-seventh,  are  two  notable  examples  of 


PSI    UPSILON    HOUSE. 


modern  Fraternity  houses.  These  are  the  club  houses  of  the  Phi 
Kappa  Psi,  and  the  Delta  Psi.  The  alumni  members  of  the  latter 
also  have  a  general  club  house  at  32  South  Twenty-second  Street. 
The  Phi  Kappa  Psi  house  was  designed  by  Frank  A.  Rommel,  and 
the  Delta  Psi  by  Cope  &  Stewardson.  The  former,  which  was 
dedicated  on  February  17,  1905,  is  also  an  adaptation  of  the  Jacobean 
style  of  architecture,  but  its  lines  are  somewhat  more  simple  than 


I98 

those  of  the  Delta  Phi.  The  building,  which  is  39  feet  front  by 
80  feet  deep,  is  constructed  of  red  Scotch  sandstone,  and  brick, 
and  has  a  slate  roof.  On  the  first  floor  is  a  living  room,  known  as 
"Cochran  Hall,"  which  was  furnished  by  Mrs.  S.  B.  Cochran  as  a 


DELTA   PHI    HOUSE. 


memorial  to  her  son,  the  late  James  P.  Cochran,  '03  College.  On 
this  floor  are  also  the  dining  room,  kitchen,  etc.,  and  billiard  room. 
The  latter  was  furnished  as  a  memorial  by  the  parents  of  the  late 
John  Gilbert  Stoddart,  who  was  a  member  of  the  chapter.     The 


199 

dining  room,  which  accommodates  forty  men,  is  perhaps  the  most 
tastefully  decorated  room  of  its  kind  at  the  University;  the  gro- 
tesque frieze  painted  by  Livingston  Smith,  '01  C,  is  a  very  artistic 
piece  of  work.     The  house  is  well  planned;  the  loggia,  which  covers 


PHI    KAPPA    PSI    HOUSE. 


the  entire  front  of  the  house,  being  used  as  a  sun  parlor  in  the  winter 
and  an  open  porch  in  the  summer.  The  entrance  to  the  house  is 
on  the  side,  opening  into  a  hallway  in  which  there  is  a  spacious 
staircase.     It  contains  twenty-eight  rooms  in  all;   twenty  of  them 


200 


on  the  second  and  third  floors  being  used  as  bedrooms,  with  the 
usual  shower  baths,  linen  rooms,  etc.  On  the  fourth  floor  is  the 
initiation  hall.  The  house  is  finished  in  Flemish  oak,  with  cream 
tinted  walls.  The  hangings  and  draperies  are  of  a  beautiful  shade 
of  dark  red,  and  all  of  the  furniture  is  in  keeping  with  the  general 
style  of  the  interior.

DELTA   PSI   HOUSE. 


DELTA  PSI.— Directly  to  the  east  of  the  Phi  Kappa  Psi  is  the 
Delta  Psi,  known  as  St.  Anthony  Hall.  The  architecture  of  this 
house  is  somewhat  similar  to  that  employed  by  the  English  in  the 
seventeenth  century.  The  material  is  the  same  as  that  used  on  all 
recently  constructed  University  buildings — hard  burnt  brick  with 


201 


Indiana  limestone  trimmings.  The  architects  have  been  particularly- 
successful  in  their  treatment  of  this  building,  which  is  considered 
one  of  the  best  proportioned  structures  of  its  kind  in  Philadelphia, 
and  the  color  schemes  of  this  and  the  new  Phi  Kappa  Sigma  house 
are  a  delight  to  all  lovers  of  beautiful  buildings.  Like  its  neighbor, 
the  main  entrance  is  on  the  east  side,  this  plan  in  both  buildings 
being  adopted  to  give  the  entire  Locust  Street  frontage  of  the  first 
floor  to  the  main  club  room.  On  this  floor  is  also  a  magnificent 
dining  room,  which  extends  the  full  width  of  the  building,  and  opens

out  upon  a  terrace  overlooking  a  small  garden.  The  other  rooms 
in  the  building  correspond  very  nearly  in  number  and  size  and 
use  to  those  of  the  Phi  Kappa  Psi. 

PHI  DELTA  THETA.— The  chapter  house  of  the  Phi  Delta 
Theta,  at  the  west  forks  of  Walnut  Street,  Woodland  Avenue  and 
Thirty-fourth  Street,  was  constructed  in  1900.  To  the  Phi  Delta 
Theta  belongs  the  distinction  of  first  adopting  a  style  of  architecture 
which  is  in  keeping  with  the  various  groups  of  later  University 


202 


buildings.  It  was  designed  by  Oswald  Shelly,  'oo  C.  The  style 
employed  was  a  modified  Collegiate  Gothic.  Like  the  University 
buildings,  it  is  constructed  of  hard  burnt  brick  and  sandstone, 
trimmed  with  Indiana  limestone.  It  contains  ten  bedrooms, 
three  bathrooms,  a  living  room  with  an  open  fireplace,  a  billiard 
room,  and  an  initiation  hall. 

ZETA  PSI. — In  planning  the  Zeta  Psi  house  at  the  eastern  forks 
of  Walnut  Street  and  Woodland  AvenUe,  the  architects,  Thomas, 
Churchman  &  Molitor,  treated  the  three  fronts  of  the  building  so 
that  they  would  not  only  have  a  certain  distinctiveness,  but  lead 


ZETA   PSI  HOUSE. 


even  a  casual  observer  to  feel  that  the  building  was  a  part  of  the 
University  group;  and  they  have  given  the  whole  structure,  inside 
and  out,  a  most  cheerful  and  homelike  atmosphere.  The  roof  is 
covered  with  green  and  variegated  slate  of  various  sizes  and  thick- 
nesses. The  architecture  of  this  building  might  also  be  classed 
as  of  the  Collegiate  Gothic  type,  but  well  adapted  to  its  environ- 
ment. The  material  used  in  the  construction  is  a  rough  brick, 
laid  with  extremely  wide  mortar  joints  entirely  of  stretchers  laid  in 


203 

pairs  and  singly,  to  give  the  effect  of  a  header  and  stretcher  wall. 
The  effect  of  the  brickwork  is  somewhat  similar  to  that  of  the 
University  Museum  buildings.  The  beautiful  simplicity  of  the 
Walnut  Street  entrance  is  rivaled  only  by  some  of  the  doorways 
and  arches  of  the  Dormitories. 


PHI   KAPPA    SIGMA    HOUSE. 


PHI  KAPPA  SIGMA.— The  style  chosen  for  the  home  of  the 
Phi  Kappa  Sigma,  at  the  northeast  corner  of  Thirty-sixth  and 
Locust  Streets,  is  a  phase  of  Renaissance,  or  rather  a  modification 


204 

ot  the  Georgian  period,  which  harmonizes  with  the  English  Collegiate 
style  used  in  many  of  the  new  University  buildings.  It  is  one  of 
the  most  beautiful  and  impressive  club  houses  in  the  city,  and 
instantly  conveys  the  impression  of  belonging  to  the  University 
group.  The  architects  were  Bissell  &  Sinkler.  The  building  is 
constructed  on  a  lot  40  by  95  feet,  and  consists  of  four  stories  over 
a  high  basement.     The  materials  are  similar  to  those  used  in  the 


DELTA   UPSILON  HOUSE'  BETA   THETA   PI,,HOUSE. 

construction  of  the  Dormitories,  Indiana  limestone  being  used 
for  the  basement  and  the  first  story.  The  second  and  third  floors 
are  of  hard  burnt  brick,  with  limestone  trimmings.  The  fourth 
floor  forms  part  of  the  roof,  and  has  six  dormer  windows  on  Thirty- 
sixth  Street  and  one  on  Locust  Street.  One  of  the  most  fascinating 
features  of  the  building  is  the  coping  which  extends  over  the  top 


205 

of  the  third  story  and  the  railing  which  surrounds  the  roof.  The 
entrance  is  through  an  artistic  doorway  on  the  east  side  of  the  build- 
ing. On  the  second  floor  is  the  library,  and  a  loggia  overlooking 
the  campus  of  the  University.  The  ceiling  of  this  indoor  porch 
is  supported  by  several  plain  Ionic  columns. 

BETA  THETA  PI.— Beta  Theta  Pi  house  is  at  3529   Locust 
Street.     It  faces  south,  and  is  directly  opposite  the  main  campus 


PHI    GAMMA   DELTA    HOUSE. 


of  the  University.  The  lot  has  a  frontage  of  only  20  feet  and  a 
depth  of  95  feet,  but  the  architects,  Savery,  Sheetz  &  Savery,  have 
succeeded  in  designing  an  exceedingly  attractive  Fraternity  house 
in  view  of  the  rather  difficult  architectural  problems  which  the 
restricted  width  of  the  lot  presented.  The  Locust  Street  facade 
is  an  adaptation  of  Georgian  period  of  English  Collegiate  archi- 
tecture.    Differing  from  other  late  University  buildings,  however 


206 

this  was  constructed  of  red  brick  with  white  marble  trimmings. 
The  entrance  on  the  main  street,  flanked  by  two  Greek  columns 
and  entablature,  gives  an  intimation  of  its  character  as  a  Greek- 
letter  Fraternity  house.  The  building  is  five  stories  high,  with  a 
cellar  under  the  front  part  for  the  heating  system.  On  the  ground 
floor  is  a  visitors'  reception  room,  a  grand  staircase,  pantry,  kitchen, 
laundry,  etc.  On  the  first  floor,  which  is  ten  feet  above  the  side- 
walk, is  the  general  living  or  lounging  room,  and  the  dining  room. 
The  second  and  third  floors,  and  part  of  the  fourth  floor,  are  devoted 


FRATERNITY    ROW. 


to  sleeping  rooms  and  baths.  In  the  rear  of  the  fourth  floor  is  a 
large  initiation  or  lodge  room,  which  is  lighted  only  with  high 
windows. 

PHI  GAMMA  DELTA  HOUSE  was  built  in  19 14,  and  is  at 
3619-21  Locust  Street.  It  was  designed  by  Walter  Miller,  a  graduate 
of  the  Architectural  School,  and  conforms  to  the  early  English 
Tudor  period  of  architecture  rather  than  the  Jacobean  or  Elizabethan 
to  which  many  later  University  buildings  conform.  The  entrance 
leads  to  a  low-studded  wainscoted  passage  to  the  main  hall  which

is  extremely  severe  in  treatment;  the  dining  and  club  rooms  adjoin 
and  a  broad  staircase  leads  to  bedrooms  and  study  rooms. 

The  dining  room  is  large  enough  to  seat  about  thirty-six  men. 
The  west  wall  is  entirely  taken  up  by  windows  which,  being  glazed 
with  Cathedral  glass,  throw  a  mellow  glow  over  the  interior.  The 
east  wall  is  wainscoted  and  provided  with  a  dignified  mantelpiece. 
The  room  is  a  memorial  to  Charles  Armand  Elliot,  and  over  the 
doorway,  cut  in  the  stone  lintel,  appears  a  fitting  inscription.  The 
club  room  is  wainscoted  about  half  way  up  with  a  balcony  across 
one  end  and  is  lighted  by  the  great  bay  window  on  the  front  of  the 
building.  It  is  patterned  after  the  great  halls  to  be  found  in  old 
English  houses  and,  owing  to  its  height,  it  has  great  dignity,  and 
with  the  sunlight  pouring  in  through  the  windows  lighting  up  the 
rich  woodwork  and  picking  out  spots  of  carving  here  and  there, 
with  the  added  cheerfulness  of  a  great  open  fireplace. 

THE  UNIVERSITY  FLAG.— While  the  colors  of  the  University, 
ever  since  they  were  first  used  in  1873,  have  been  red  and  blue, 
because  of  frequent  discussions  about  the  exact  shades  of  colors 
and  dimensions  of  flags,  an  official  flag  of  the  University  of  Pennsyl- 
vania was  adopted  on  June  15,  19 10.  The  colors  are  red  and  blue 
and  conform  to  the  standards  used  by  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment. The  design  is  rectangular  and  consists  of  three  vertical 
bands — red,  blue,  and  red,  with  the  William  Penn  coat  of  arms 
in  the  center  of  the  blue  band.  The  width  of  the  red  bands  is 
22/48  of  the  hoist,  and  the  width  of  the  blue  band,  28/48  of  the 
hoist.  The  shield  is  rectangular,  of  a  height  equal  to  20/48  of  the 
hoist  and  a  width  equal  to  17/48  of  the  hoist.  The  fess  occupies 
approximately  1/3  of  the  height  of  the  shield. 

The  Provo?t's  flag  is  the  standard  of  the  University  and  has 
in  addition,  a  five-pointed  star  in  the  upper  corner  in  the  red  field 
of  the  hoist.  Each  department  may  fly  a  pennant  of  its  own  with 
the  official  flag.  Such  pennant  must  not  exceed  twice  the  length 
of  the  flag.  The  colors  for  the  pennants  are*  Arts  and  Letters, 
white;  Science,  golden  yellow;  Music,  pink;  Theology,  scarlet; 
Philosophy,  dark  blue;  Law,  purple;  Medicine,  green;  Dentistry, 
lilac;   Veterinary,  gray.

OLD  UNIVERSITY  LANDMARKS 

FIRST  BUILDINGS.— On  the  west  side  of  Fourth  Street,  below 
Arch,  stood  the  first  building  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
erected  in  1740.  The  site  has  long  since  been  occupied  by  modern 
business  structures,  although  part  of  one  of  the  buildings,  erected 
in  1762,  is  still  standing.  On  one  of  the  walls  in  an  alley  leading 
to  the  site  where  stood  the  first  University  building,  the  Class  of 
1889  College  erected  a  large  bronze  memorial  tablet  inscribed  as 
follows: 

On  this  site  stood  the  "New 
Building"  erected  in  1740 

for  George  Whitefield 
and  for  a  Charity  School 
Subsequently  until  1802 
it  was  used  by  the  School 

Academy  College  and 
University  of  Pennsylvania 
Successively — This  tablet 
was  placed  here  by  the 
Class  of  1889  College  on  the 
Twentieth  Anniversary  of 
their  graduation  June  1909 


Alongside  of   this  tablet    is  another  erected  by   the  Unitarians 
of  Philadelphia,  inscribed  as  follows: 

In  A  Building 

of  the

Which  Stood  Near  this  Spot 

"The  First  Society  of  Unitarian  Christians 

in  Philadelphia,"  being  the  first  church 

in  America  to  adopt  the  Unitarian  name, 

was  organized  12  June,  1796. 

Under  the  influence  of 

JOSEPH   PRIESTLEY,  LL.D.,  F.R.S., 

Celebrated  Theologian  and  Philosopher 

Discoverer  of  Oxygen  and 

Founder  of  Modern  Chemistry

This  tablet  is  erected  by 

The  Unitarians  of  Philadelphia 

4  October,  1908 

THE  OLD  JAIL  was  located  at  Third  and  Market  Streets  from 
which  Provost  Smith  taught  his  classes  during  February,  March 
and  April  of  1758. 

OLD  CHRIST  CHURCH,  on  the  west  side  of  Second  Street, 
near  Market,  is  closely  associated  with  the  early  history  of  the 
University.  The  Church  was  founded  in  1695  under  a  charter 
granted  by  Charles  II  to  William  Penn.  In  this  Church  the  Colonial 
Governors  had  their  state  pew.      It  was  chartered  by  the  Penn 


210 

family,  proprietaries  of  Pennsylvania,  descendants  of  William 
Penn.  John  Penn,  who  was  one  of  the  trustees  of  the  University 
from  1764  to  1779,  the  last  male  member  of  this  line,  is  buried 
near  the  steps  of  the  pulpit. 

It  was  in  this  church,  in  1739,  that  George  Whitefield  preached; 
and  in  1740  a  fund  was  raised  with  which  the  lot  on  Fourth  Street, 
below  Arch,  was  purchased  and  a  building  erected  for  him  in  which 
a  Charity  School  was  organized,  which  was  the  beginning  of  the 
University.  The  baptismal  font  of  the  Church  is  dated  1695,  and 
is  that  in  which  Bishop  White,  1765  College,  was  baptized.  His 
remains  are  interred  before  the  chancel  rail,  and  his  bishopric  chair 
is  beside  the  altar.  Benjamin  Franklin,  the  founder  of  the  Uni- 
versity, was  a  member  of  the  committee  which  built  the  spire, 
and  he  originally  intended  to  try  his  electrical  experiments  with 
a  kite  from  its  summit,  then  the  highest  point  in  Philadelphia. 
He  occupied  pew  number  seventy.  His  remains  are  buried  in  the 
parish  grounds,  at  Fifth  and  Arch  Streets,  where  are  the  graves 
of  many  other  men  connected  with  the  early  history  of  the  University 
of  Pennsylvania.  Robert  Morris,  a  trustee  of  the  University  from 
1778  to  1 79 1,  occupied  pew  number  fifty-two.  His  remains  are 
buried  beneath  the  Parish  House.  Francis  Hopkinson,  another 
trustee  and  signer,  occupied  pew  number  sixty-five.  The  remains 
of  James  Wilson,  another  signer,  a  graduate  of  the  College,  Pro- 
fessor of  English  Literature  at  the  University,  its  first  Professor 
of  Law,  one  of  the  trustees,  and  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of 
the  United  States,  are  also  buried  in  the  churchyard. 

George  Washington,  an  honorary  alumnus  of  the  University, 
and  Martha  Washington,  occupied  pew  number  fifty-eight  from 
1790  to  1797,  while  he  was  President  of  the  United  States.  This 
pew  was  also  occupied  by  John  Adams  while  he  was  President, 
and  by  Lafayette,  also  an  honorary  alumnus,  on  his  second  visit 
to  Philadelphia. 

Among  the  distinguished  clergymen  who  have  been  rectors  of 
the  church,  besides  Bishop  White,  were:  Bishop  Welton;  Bishop 
William  H.  Delancey,  who  was  a  trustee  in  1826,  and  Provost  of 
the  University  from  1828  to  1834;  Bishop  Kemper;  Dr.  William 
Augustus  Muhlenberg,  of  the  Class  of  1815,  one  of  the  founders 
of  the  Philomathean  Society  of  the  University,  and  author  of  many 
famous  hymns,  was  rector  from  18 17  to  1822;  Rev.  Dr.  Thomas 
Coombe,  of  the  Class  of  1766,  who  was  chaplain  to  King  George  III, 
and  Rev.  Dr.  Robert  Blackwell,  chaplain  of  the  American  Army 
at  Valley  Forge,  and  on  whom  the  University  conferred  an  honorary 
degree  in  1788,  were  also  rectors  of  this  parish. 


SITE  OF  THE  OLD  ANATOMICAL  HALL  of  the  Medical 
Department,  on  the  east  side  of  Fifth  Street,  between  Chestnut 
and  Walnut.     Occupied  from  1765  to  1802.

THE   SITE   OF   THE   OLD   PRESIDENTIAL   MANSION,   at 

Ninth  and  Chestnut  Streets,  where  the  United  States  Postoffice 
now  stands.  The  building  was  erected  by  the  State  of  Pennsylvania 
as  a  residence  for  the  President  of  the  United  States  while  the  capital 
was  in  Philadelphia.  The  cornerstone  of  this  building  is  on  exhibi- 
tion in  the  Library  of  the  University.  The  University  occupied 
this  site  from  1802  to  1873,  when  it  moved  to  its  present  location. 
A  bronze  statue,  by  John  J .  Boyle,  of  Benjamin  Franklin,  the  founder 
of  the  University,  has  been  erected  on  the  Chestnut  Street  side  of 
the  old  site. 

AMERICAN  PHILOSOPHICAL  SOCIETY  BUILDING  in  Inde- 
pendence Square.  Society  consolidated  with  a  society  founded  by 
Franklin,  and  part  of  this  building  was  used  by  the  Medical  School 
in  its  early  days. 

CONGRESS  HALL,  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Sixth  and  Chest- 
nut Streets,  still  remains.  It  was  occupied  by  the  United  States 
Congress  for  ten  years  from  1790  to  1800,  when  Philadelphia  was 
the  National  Capital.  This  building,  and  two  adjacent  buildings 
since  demolished,  were  occupied  by  the  Law  School  of  the  Uni- 
versity from  1895  to  1899,  the  old  Senate  and  House  of  Representa- 
tives chambers  in  this  building  were  used  as  class  rooms.  A  bronze 
tablet  has  been  subscribed  for  to  be  placed  on  the  Sixth  Street  wall 
of  this  building  and  the  inscription  is  to  be  as  follows: 

CONGRESS   HALL 

The  University  of  Pennsylvania  Law  School  occupied  this  building  from  1895 
to  1900,  also  the  building  known  as  the  "New  Court  House,"  which  stood  in 
Independence  Square  directly  south  of  Congress  Hall. 

This  tablet  is  erected  by  the  members  of  the  seven  classes  of  the  University, 
who  cherish  the  memory  of  their  student  days  spent  in  the  halls  occupied  by 
Congress  from  1790  to  1800,  and  the  privilege  of  pursuing  their  studies  in  the 
same  room  in  which,  in  1793,  Washington  was  inaugurated  President;  as  also 
John  Adams,  in  1797,  and  Jefferson  as  Vice-President;  and  where  Chief  Justice 
Marshall,  in  announcing  the  death  of  Washington,  offered  the  resolution  "That 
a  committee  be  appointed  to  consider  the  most  suitable  manner  of  paying  honor 
to  the  memory  of  the  man  first  in  war,  first  in  peace,  and  first  in  the  hearts  of  his 
countrymen." 

WILLIAM  SMITH'S  HOUSE  AT  FALLS  CREEK —William 
Smith,  the  first  Provost  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  lived 
for  many  years  in  a  house  situated  on  a  bluff  or  hill  which  bordered 
the  Falls  Creek  and  the  Ridge  Road,  south  of  Indian  Queen  Lane. 
This  spot,  known  as  Smith's  Hill,  commanded  a  beautiful  view  of 
the  Schuylkill  both  to  the  south  and  to  the  north.  The  mansion 
was  occupied  by  him  in  1773,  and,  with  the  exception  of  a  few  years, 
he  lived  there  until  1803.  Two  of  the  buildings  on  this  estate 
still  remain,  although  somewhat  altered.  The  mansion,  an  L- 
shaped  house,  the  main  arm  facing  to  the  west,  is  situated  on  the 


214 

summit  of  the  hill.  It  is  substantially  built,  with  a  fine  poroh  on 
its  western  face,  terraces,  and  a  lawn  extending  towards  the  bluff. 

HOUSE  IN  SPRING  STREET  WHERE  FRANKLIN  LIVED.— 

An  ancient  three-story  brick  dwelling  at  1 1 1  Spring  Street,  a  small 
thoroughfare  near  Front  and  Race  Streets,  is  said  to  have  been  at 
one  time  the  home  of  Benjamin  Franklin,  the  founder  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania.  After  arriving  in  Philadelphia  the  tradi- 
tion is  that  he  boarded  in  this  house  for  a  number  of  years,  occupy- 
ing one  of  the  rooms  in  the  attic.  When  he  became  more  prosperous 
he  removed  to  a  large  residence  on  Market  Street,  between  Third 
and  Fourth  Streets,  which  was  demolished  many  years  ago.     The 


SMITH    MANSION,    VIEW   FROM    THE    SOUTHWEST. 


house  on  Spring  Street  is  said  to  have  been  one  of  the  first  brick 
dwellings  built  in  Philadelphia,  and  was  erected  many  years  before 
Franklin  lived  in  it.

SONGS 

HAIL!   PENNSYLVANIA 

By  Edgar  M.  Dilley,  '97 

(Air,  Russian  Hymn) 

Hail!  Pennsylvania,  noble  and  strong; 
To  thee  with  loyal  hearts  we  raise  our  song. 
Swelling  to  Heaven  loud,  our  praises  ring; 
Hail!  Pennsylvania,  of  thee  we  sing! 

Majesty  as  a  crown  rests  on  thy  brow; 
Pride,  Honor,  Glory,  Love,  before  thee  bow. 
Ne'er  can  thy  spiiit  die,  thy  walls  decay: 
Hail!  Pennsylvania,  for  thee  we  pray  I 

Hail!  Pennsylvania!  guide  of  our  youth; 
Lead  thou  thy  children  on  to  light  and  truth; 
Thee,  when  death  summons  us,  others  shall  praise, 
Hail!  Pennsylvania,  thro'  endless  days. 


BEN   FRANKLIN 

By  Charles  I.  Junkin,  '77 

Music  by  Edward  G.  McCollin,  '78 

H'rah!     H'rah!     H'rah! 
Penn-syl-van-i-a ! 
In  days  of  old  as  we  are  told 

There  lived  a  man  named  Ben ; 
A  friend  was  he,  and  so  are  we, 
To  Pennsylvania  men. 

A  ready  blade,  he  often  made 

Ingenious  little  toys; 
He  built  a  kite  with  great  delight. 

And  shocked  the  little  boys. 

This  ancient  squire  did  then  aspire 

A  public  school  to  found ; 
And  with  a  dash  he  raised  the  cash 

And  bought  a  lot  of  ground. 


And  now  we  raise  our  song  of  praise 

To  good  old  Father  Ben; 
A  friend  was  he,  and  so  are  we, 

To  Pennsylvania  men. 


Chorus 

Ben  Franklin  was  his  name, 
And  not  unknown  to  fame; 
The  founder  first  was  he 
Of  the  U-ni-ver-si-tee.

THE   RED   AND   BLUE 
By  Harry  E.  Westervelt,  '98 
Music  by  William  J.  Coeckel,  '96 

Come  all  ye  loyal  classmen  now, 

In  hall  and  campus  through, 
Lift  up  your  hearts  and  voices  for 

The  royal  Red  and  Blue. 
We  ask  no  other  emblem, 

No  other  sign  to  view, 
We  only  ask  to  see  and  cheer 

Our  colors  Red  and  Blue. 

Chorus 

Hurrah,  Hurrah,  Pennsylvania, 
Hurrah  for  the  Red  and  Blue. 

Hurrah,  Hun  ah,  Hurrah,  Hurrah, 
Hurrah  for  the  Red  and  Blue. 

And  now  through  all  the  years  to  come, 

In  midst  of  toil  and  care, 
We'll  get  new  inspiration 

From  the  colors  waving  there. 
And  when  to  all  our  college  life 

We've  said  our  last  adieu. 
We'll  never  say  adieu  to  thee, 

Our  colors  Red  and  Blue. 


ALMA    MATER 

Old  Alma  Mater,  great  and  grand, 

Renown'd  from  sea  to  sea. 
Where'er  thy  loyal  sons  shall  stand, 

They'll  e'er  be  true  to  thee. 
The  sight  of  thy  majestic  halls, 

With  ivy  overgrown, 
The  fondest  memory  recalls, 

That  we  have  ever  known. 


Chorus 

Ah!  Pennsylvania, 

Dear  Pennsylvania, 

We'll  e'er  be  true — to  Red  and  Blue 

Of  Pennsylvania. 


Dear  Penn,  tho'  spacious  be  thy  halls, 

And  wide  thy  campus  spread 
And  tho'  thy  adamantine  walls 

Tall,  tower  overhead, 
Yet  all  too  narrow  are  thy  bounds 

Our  fealty  to  contain, 
For  hark!  the  very  sky  resounds 

And  echoes  our  refrain.
